EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Ashantee War, Hospital Surf Boats for the Sick and Wounded" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the heroic efforts made during the Third Anglo-Ashanti War. The scene depicts a group of hospital surf boats stationed along the coast of Ghana, ready to transport sick and wounded soldiers. The intensity of war is evident as injured men are carefully loaded onto these boats with utmost care and urgency. Their faces reflect pain but also resilience, reminding us of their unwavering determination to survive. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought on both sides during this conflict. It highlights not only the physical toll taken on individuals but also emphasizes the crucial role played by medical professionals in providing aid amidst chaos. "The Ashantee War" engraving was originally published in The Graphic on January 17th, 1874. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection allows us to appreciate its historical significance today. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when bravery clashed with adversity—a testament to human strength even in times of great turmoil.
