EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Disturbances in West Africa, the English Hausa Force at Accra" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Adrien Emmanuel Marie and reproduced from an original print, this artwork offers a glimpse into the military force stationed in Accra during the late 19th century. The scene depicts the English Hausa Force gathered outside Christiansborg Castle, their residence and base of operations. The battalion stands tall and proud, showcasing their strength and unity as they prepare to face the challenges that lie ahead. Led by Lieutenant Colonel E. B. Minnis, these officers exemplify courage and determination. The image captures not only the military aspect but also provides insight into daily life within the force. The officers' quarters can be seen in detail, offering a glimpse into their living conditions amidst this tumultuous time. "The Disturbances in West Africa" serves as a reminder of both historical events and cultural exchange between nations during colonial times. It invites us to reflect on how different forces came together to maintain order while facing adversity. Preserved within private collections for years, this engraving now emerges from obscurity through Fine Art Finder's efforts with Bridgeman Images. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era when bravery was tested on foreign shores – forever etched onto paper for generations to come.
