Framed Print of The Ashantee War: inspecting Kossohs at Prah-Su, from a sketch by our special artist, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The Ashantee War: inspecting Kossohs at Prah-Su, from a sketch by our special artist, 1874. Third Anglo-Ashanti War. The camp at Prah-su, where our Artist was residing at the date of his last letter, is the scene of much ordinary military business; and he has made two or three sketches of what he saw going on there. The inspection of some of our native auxiliary troops is one of the incidents he has chosen to depict. There are the Kossohs, who come from another country of West Africa, a long way north of the Gold Coast. They are dressed in canvas smocks, and each man carries three regulation pouches, worn in any way that pleases his fancy. Their wives, or some of them, are standing behind the line. Lieutenant Pollock and Lieutenant Clowes are engaged in the inspection. To the left of the line are the drum-major and the drummer. Beside the two English officers are two Kossoh chiefs. These are fine, well-grown men; one of them wears a sackcloth coat with long sleeves and a battered English hat. The other has only a cloth about him, from the waist down to the knees, and a turban, made of a strip of red and blue cloth, with a fetish or talisman on the top, like a rude coronet, ornamented with large beads on the rim'.
