EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Off to Ashanti, the 'Loanda' going down Channel, the Soldiers Deck" by Henry Charles Seppings Wright takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the military expedition of British soldiers departing for Ashanti, Ghana aboard the troopship "Loanda". As we gaze at this print, we are transported to the late 19th century when colonial powers sought to expand their territories and influence across Africa. The soldiers deck is bustling with activity as troops prepare for their arduous journey ahead. Each soldier's face reflects determination and perhaps a hint of apprehension about what awaits them in Ashanti. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 4th, 1896. It serves as a visual documentation of an era marked by imperialism and exploration. H. C. Seppings Wright expertly captures both the grandeur of the ship and the human element within it. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only historical events but also into the lives of those who served during that time period. It reminds us of their bravery and sacrifice while shedding light on Britain's involvement in African colonization. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate art's ability to preserve moments from our past and encourages us to reflect upon our shared history.
