The Recent Fighting on the Gambia - A Glimpse into a Forgotten Conflict
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, offers us a rare glimpse into the intense fighting that took place on the banks of the Gambia River. The print captures a pivotal moment during this little-known conflict, which unfolded in Bathurst Port. Intriguingly, we witness two opposing forces locked in a fierce battle. On one side stands a formidable ship carrying West India troops and reinforcements, ready to defend their position with unwavering determination. On the other side are local fighters from the Gambia region, fiercely confronting each other amidst billowing smoke and chaos. The scene is filled with tension and energy as both sides clash head-on. The engraving masterfully depicts every detail of this violent confrontation – from men engaged in hand-to-hand combat to cannon fire erupting across the riverbanks. While historical records may have forgotten this particular conflict over time, this artwork serves as an important reminder of past struggles that shaped our world today. It highlights not only the bravery and resilience of those involved but also sheds light on lesser-known conflicts that often go unnoticed by mainstream history books. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, let us remember those who fought valiantly along these shores and honor their sacrifices for generations to come.
