EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Steam-Tug at Plymouth taking Troops to the Himalaya for the Gold Coast" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Henry Spernon Tozer around 1870, this print showcases a pivotal event during the Third Anglo-Ashanti War. The scene depicts a bustling maritime setting as troops are being transported from Plymouth to the Himalaya, a troopship destined for the Gold Coast. The steam-tug takes center stage, its powerful engine propelling it through choppy waters. The soldiers aboard eagerly await their deployment, ready to face unknown challenges in service of their country. Tozer's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The intricate lines and shading bring life to each figure on board and capture the essence of this historic moment. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the anticipation and determination emanating from these brave men. This piece was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on November 29th, 1873 – an era when illustrated papers were highly valued sources of information and entertainment. Today, it serves as a window into our past, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece within their private collection.
