Created by artist John Greenaway, this historical artwork transports us to the dense jungles of Ghana, where British military forces clashed with the Ashanti people. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures the essence of this 19th-century conflict. The print showcases an intriguing blend of art and literature from that era. It was featured in "British Battles on Land and Sea". Volume III, authored by James Grant. Published by Cassell Petter & Galpin in London, Paris & New York around 1880, this book aimed to document pivotal moments in British history. The image itself presents a dramatic landscape enveloped in mystery and intrigue. The lush greenery of the African bush dominates the scene as soldiers navigate through its treacherous terrain. This portrayal offers a glimpse into both sides of war – nature's untamed beauty juxtaposed against man-made destruction. This historic print serves as a testament to Britain's colonial past and its encounters with different cultures across continents. It sheds light on one specific chapter: the clash between Britain and Ashanti during their struggle for power in Ghana.
