EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the start of a journey from Cape Coast Castle to Kumassi. The illustration, taken from Battles of the Nineteenth Century: Vol. VII, The Ashanti War of 1900 by Archibald Forbes, G. A. Henty, and Major Arthur Griffiths, transports us back to a time when the British army embarked on their third Ashanti expedition. The image depicts carriers setting off with determination and strength as they shoulder heavy burdens. Their faces reveal both resilience and anticipation for what lies ahead. Each man carries his own load - boxes, chests, crates - symbolizing the weighty responsibility placed upon them during this tumultuous period known as the Yaa Asantewaa War or Ashanti Uprising. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this historical event; it is an engraving that speaks volumes about human endurance and sacrifice amidst conflict. The attention to detail in every line etched by Ernest Prater allows us to immerse ourselves in this scene from over a century ago. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space while preserving moments that shaped our world forever.
