EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Commanding Officers of the Ashantee Expedition: the Late Lieut. L. F. Wells, R. N" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Anglo Ashanti War in Ghana, 1873. The image showcases a group of commanding officers who led this expedition, with Lieutenant L. F. Wells at its forefront. The engraving is a testament to the illustrative technique and artistic prowess of the Victorian era, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance that is characteristic of 19th-century style. Its vintage appeal and retro styling transport us to a bygone era, allowing us to immerse ourselves in historic art. Lieutenant L. F. Wells holds our attention as we learn about his tragic fate on board the Biafra during his voyage home from this arduous campaign. His untimely death serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their country's cause. As we gaze upon this engraved image, we are reminded not only of the bravery and dedication displayed by these commanding officers but also of the larger historical context within which they operated - an era marked by conflict and colonial ambitions. The Liszt Collection has once again curated a remarkable piece that encapsulates both cultural significance and aesthetic beauty without compromising historical accuracy or integrity. This print serves as an invaluable window into our past, inviting us to reflect on moments that have shaped our present-day world.
