The War on the Gold Coast, Destruction of the Villages of Ampenee and Akimfoo, 14 October
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful engraving by Charles Robinson that depicts the devastating consequences of war. The image captures the aftermath of a military conflict during the Third Anglo-Ashanti War in Ghana. The villages of Ampenee and Akimfoo lie in ruins, their once vibrant communities reduced to rubble. The scene is filled with poignant details that convey the immense destruction caused by this conflict. Boats line the coast, serving as a reminder of both transportation and warfare. The artist's use of burgundy hues adds an eerie atmosphere to the print, emphasizing the somberness and tragedy that befell these coastal settlements. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on November 29th, 1873. It serves as a historical record documenting one chapter in Ghana's tumultuous past. Through his artistry, Robinson brings attention to the human cost of war and prompts viewers to reflect upon its devastating impact on innocent lives. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us remember those who have suffered due to conflicts throughout history. May it serve as a reminder for future generations to strive for peace and understanding among nations.
