EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithographic print that takes us back in time to 1898. The image, created by Amedee Forestier and featured in The Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into an important historical event. The scene depicts a military camp along the Ukoranza Kintampo Road, situated on the banks of the Nante River in present-day Ghana. In this moment frozen in time, we witness soldiers taking a break from their arduous journey through dense forests and treacherous terrain. Amidst the backdrop of lush greenery, refugees seeking safety can be seen alongside British troops enjoying their breakfasts. The aroma of freshly cooked meals fills the air as soldiers dine together before continuing their expedition deeper into the Gold Coast Hinterland. Forestier's attention to detail brings this engraving to life; every stroke captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys a sense of camaraderie among those involved in this historic mission. It serves as a reminder of both Britain's colonial presence and its efforts to explore and expand its influence across Africa during this era. This lithograph transports us back over a century ago, allowing us to appreciate not only Forestier's artistic talent but also providing valuable insights into an important chapter in history – one that shaped nations and cultures alike.
