EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Convoy of Sick and Wounded crossing the River on the Road from Coomassie" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Third Anglo-Ashanti War. The image, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, showcases a scene filled with both bravery and vulnerability. In this poignant depiction, we witness a group of sick and wounded individuals making their arduous journey across a river. Clad in traditional tribal attire, they bear visible signs of injury and pain. Their faces tell stories of resilience amidst adversity as they navigate through treacherous waters. The convoy's determination is palpable as they traverse this challenging terrain on their way from Coomassie. Each step taken represents not only physical endurance but also the strength of human spirit in times of war. This engraving serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs and homeland. It sheds light on the importance of medicine, health, and care during times when wounds inflicted upon warriors were all too common. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in 1874. Its historical significance continues to captivate viewers while offering insight into past conflicts that have shaped our world today.
