EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Ashantee War, on the March to Coomassie" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of the Third Anglo-Ashanti War. In this scene, we witness a group of women from a local village skillfully catching fish as they cross a river. The military presence is evident with native carriers and armed soldiers marching alongside them. The lush mangroves and towering trees provide an enchanting backdrop for this journey towards Coomassie (now known as Kumasi), the capital city of Ghana. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the dangers that lurk within these waters. Tritons - mythical creatures associated with water - can be seen swimming nearby, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the narrative. The Ashantee War was fought between British forces and the Kingdom of Ashanti during 1873-1874. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic magazine on March 7th, 1874, providing readers with a visual representation of one aspect of this conflict. Now preserved in a private collection but available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this artwork allows us to glimpse into history while appreciating both its artistic value and historical significance.
