EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "View of Coomassie, c1880" takes us back to a significant episode in history - the Third Anglo-Ashanti War (1873-1874). The artist, W. P. , skillfully captures the essence of this momentous conflict that unfolded in Ghana. The scene depicted showcases an elevated view of Coomassie (now known as Kumasi), the capital city of the Ashanti Empire. The monochrome engraving transports us to the 19th century, providing a glimpse into British military involvement in Africa during that era. As we delve into this historical artwork from James Grant's book "British Battles on Land and Sea" we are reminded of Britain's imperialistic ambitions and its impact on various regions across the globe. The vista presented here evokes a sense of awe at both the natural beauty and human presence within this African landscape. The print offers more than just a visual representation; it serves as a window into an important chapter in world history. It allows us to reflect upon past conflicts, cultural exchanges, and power dynamics between nations. With its intricate details and meticulous composition, this print stands as a testament to both artistic expression and historical documentation.
