EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the Ashanti Expedition and Prince Henry of Battenberg's Last Breakfast. The scene unfolds in the Staff Officers Mess-Room at Cape Coast Castle, Ghana, as the military prepares to march towards Coomassie. In this intimate setting, we witness Prince Henry of Battenberg and his fellow officers gathered around a table laden with breakfast delicacies. Their faces reflect a mix of anticipation and determination as they fuel themselves for the arduous journey ahead. The room exudes an air of camaraderie and purpose, with maps spread out on the walls and uniforms neatly hung. This image not only showcases military strategy but also highlights royalty's involvement in such expeditions. Prince Henry's presence underscores his commitment to duty despite his privileged background. It is a testament to his bravery and dedication that he partakes in this final meal before embarking on a perilous mission. The engraving skillfully portrays the morning ritual of breaking bread together - an act that unites soldiers regardless of rank or status. As they dine, their thoughts are undoubtedly consumed by what lies ahead: battling through dense jungles, facing unknown dangers, all while striving for victory. Through this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to 1896 when these events unfolded. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic representation that immortalizes this pivotal moment in time.
