Légende

The Ashantee War: advancing on Coomassie [ie Kumasi], facsimile of a sketch by our special artist, 1874. Third Anglo-Ashanti War - the British Army in West Africa. 'The Illustrations of the late campaign, furnished by the sketches of our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, whose arrival home was mentioned last week, are continued in this Number. In one instance - that of an actual fighting scene, in which the British soldiers are shown in the attitude of combat in the hush - we have preferred to give a mere facsimile of Mr. Prior's sketch, as then and there drawn by him, instead of the more finished work usually prepared from such sketches for the engraver on wood'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
