EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ashanti Expedition: A Glimpse into the Courageous Journey". This photograph, titled "The Ashanti Expedition" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases a companion detachment of troops preparing for their expedition. Intriguingly, we witness the soldiers diligently drilling in the courtyard of Cape Coast Castle before departing on their mission. The image beautifully portrays their unwavering determination and commitment to duty as they stand tall with pride. Notably, among these brave men is Commander Sir Francis Scott, KCMG, Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael. His presence symbolizes strong leadership and inspires confidence within his troops. As our eyes wander through this historic scene, we catch sight of Liverpool's SS Angola docked at Cape Coast. This vessel played a crucial role in transporting supplies and reinforcements during this arduous campaign against the Ashanti people. The composition also offers glimpses into other important locations such as Government House and District Commissioners Quarters. These structures served as vital command centers throughout the expedition. With every detail captured flawlessly through photography's lens, this print allows us to immerse ourselves in a pivotal moment from long ago. It reminds us of the bravery exhibited by those who embarked on dangerous journeys to protect their nation's interests while shedding light on an often overlooked chapter in history - The Ashanti Expedition.
