EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Ashantee War, the Camp at Prah-Su, Native Artillery crossing the River" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by John Greenaway in 1874 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the intense Anglo-Ashanti conflict that unfolded during the late 19th century. The scene depicted showcases an essential aspect of warfare: transportation. As we observe closely, native artillery is seen skillfully maneuvering across a river on boats. The tension and anticipation are palpable as these brave soldiers navigate through treacherous waters to reach their destination – the camp at Prah-Su. One cannot help but be drawn to the intricate details captured by Greenaway's masterful hand. Each stroke brings life to every ripple on the water's surface and conveys a sense of urgency as these vessels make their way forward. Beyond its artistic merit, this engraving serves as a historical document shedding light on an often overlooked chapter in Ghana's past –the Ashantee War. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by both sides and invites reflection upon how conflicts shape nations and individuals alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us honor those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period while also recognizing our shared responsibility to learn from history and strive for peace in our world today.
