EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Ashanti Expedition, the Queen bidding Farewell to the Scots Guards at Windsor" captures a poignant moment in history. Created by Samuel Begg and part of a private collection, this print showcases an engraving originally published in The Illustrated London News on 7th December 1895. In this scene, we witness a significant military farewell ceremony taking place on November 27th. Queen Victoria herself bids adieu to the valiant Scots Guards at Windsor Castle. The occasion marks their departure for the Ashanti Expedition - a crucial mission undertaken by British forces to quell unrest in present-day Ghana. The image exudes regality and ceremonial grandeur as Her Royal Highness stands amidst her loyal subjects. Dressed resplendently, she radiates grace and authority while conveying her appreciation for these brave soldiers embarking on such a perilous journey. The composition beautifully captures both the solemnity of farewells and the excitement of adventure that lies ahead. It serves as a testament to Queen Victoria's unwavering support for her troops during times of imperial expansion. Begg's masterful lithography brings depth and texture to every detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time – witnessing firsthand an event that shaped not only British history but also international relations during the late 19th century.
