EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Burning of Coomassie, c1880" takes us back to a significant episode in history - the Third Anglo-Ashanti War (1873-1874). The image is part of the renowned book "British Battles on Land and Sea" by James Grant, published by Cassell Petter & Galpin in London, Paris, and New York around 1880. The scene depicted showcases the intense military conflict between Britain and the Ashanti Empire in what is now Ghana. British soldiers are seen engulfed in warfare as they set fire to Coomassie (now Kumasi), the capital city of the Ashanti Kingdom. This engraving captures both the chaos and strategic precision employed during this campaign. With its monochrome aesthetic, this historical artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone.
