EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history - The Ashanti Expedition, with the Special Service Corps on the Way to Coomassie. Illustrated for The Illustrated London News in 1896, it showcases the English School's artistic talent and attention to detail. In this scene, we see members of the Special Service Corps marching through Ghana towards Coomassie. The soldiers are armed and prepared for any challenges they may face along their journey. Their weapons glisten under the sun as they march forward with determination. The print also offers a glimpse into military life during this expedition. In one corner, officers can be seen relaxing in their quarters after a long day's march. Meanwhile, others diligently clean their weapons or pay respects at Major Ferguson's grave. The artist skillfully portrays both the strength and vulnerability of these soldiers as they navigate unfamiliar terrain and confront an unknown enemy. Every line and stroke conveys a sense of purpose and resilience that defined this historic mission. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by those who participated in The Ashanti Expedition. It serves as a testament to human courage and our unwavering pursuit of knowledge and adventure throughout history.
