EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Anglo-Ashanti War. The engraving, created by Charles Robinson, showcases the intensity and gravity of this military conflict that took place in 1874. The image depicts Lieutenant Wilmot and Lieutenant Eyre's arrival at Cape Coast Castle, where they were laid to rest after losing their lives during the war. Captain Huyshe leads a solemn ceremonial procession as officers from the 2nd West India Regiment pay tribute to their fallen comrades. The scene is filled with emotion and reverence as soldiers gather around the graves of these brave men who sacrificed everything for their country. The Barbadoes party stands alongside Captain Nicol, representing unity among nations in this time of turmoil. In the background, we catch a glimpse of Prah Su in Ghana, reminding us of the significance and impact this war had on both sides. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict and honors those who fought valiantly. Displayed within private collections today, this engraving continues to serve as an important historical artifact that sheds light on one chapter in humanity's complex journey through warfare.
