The man seated in the center is none other than the Times correspondent, diligently recording the events unfolding before him. Standing beside him are representatives from three prominent newspapers - the New York Herald, Illustrated London News, and Standard - all present to report on this significant conflict between King Kofi Karikari of the Ashanti and the British.
