The Ashantee War - sketches by our special artist: a night alarm, 1874. Third Anglo-Ashanti War. '...a night alarm in the camp...from the breaking down of a bough of the tree above the roof of a hut which sheltered a travelling party. They fled in great dismay, and their rest was disturbed for that night without relief or remedy; but the accident had no more serious consequences. We may here again remind our readers of the publication entitled "From Cape Coast to Coomassie, an Illustrated History of the Ashantee War," in which they will find many of the Engravings from our Special Artist's sketches, collected and reprinted, with the only complete narrative of the late campaign that has yet been written'. Racist depiction of barefoot black soldiers, possibly a West Indian regiment of the British Army. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
