EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ashantee War: Ascension Island, the Sanatorium for the Sick and Wounded: the Hospital - A Glimpse into History This 19th-century engraving transports us back to a crucial moment in time during the Anglo-Ashanti War of 1873. The image showcases Ascension Island, serving as a vital sanatorium for those injured or sickened by this intense conflict. Intriguingly detailed, this historic artwork offers a unique illustrative technique that captures both the essence of Victorian arts and culture and the retro-styled aesthetic of its era. The engraved image beautifully depicts an important chapter in Ghana's history when it was known as Ashanti. The hospital depicted in this vintage print stands tall amidst lush surroundings on Ascension Island, providing solace to countless wounded soldiers who sought refuge within its walls. This engraving serves as a testament to human resilience and compassion even amid times of war. As we gaze upon this nineteenth-century engraving from Arkheia's collection, we are reminded of how art can preserve moments that would otherwise be lost to time. It is through such visual artifacts that we gain insight into our pasts and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Let this remarkable piece transport you back in time, allowing you to immerse yourself in history while appreciating the artistic mastery behind every stroke of engravement.
