The Ashanti Expedition, Council of Officers at Sierra Leone, consulting the Map for the Line of March
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, we are transported back to a momentous event in history - The Ashanti Expedition. The image depicts a council of officers gathered around a large map, deep in consultation and strategizing their line of march. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as these military leaders from various branches come together to plan their next move. Governor Lieutenant Faber takes center stage, his presence commanding respect and authority. Surrounding him are Captain Benson, Surgeon Major Hughes, Surgeon Colonel Taylor, Captain Morant, and many others who play crucial roles in this expedition. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Wright's skilled hand - from the uniforms adorned with medals to the expressions etched on each officer's face. Their dedication to duty is palpable as they pore over every inch of the map before them. This historic moment was immortalized in an illustration for The Illustrated London News on January 25th, 1896. It serves as a testament to the bravery and meticulous planning required for such expeditions. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these men who ventured into unknown territories on behalf of their country. Their courage echoes through time and reminds us that even amidst uncertainty and adversity, careful planning can lead us towards victory.
