EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Attack by British Forces on the Stronghold of the Loosoos, a Tribe on the Western Coast of Africa" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a dramatic scene that unfolded along the coastal shores of West Africa. The image showcases British forces launching an assault on the stronghold of the Loosoos tribe. The attackers are seen approaching in boats and tugboats, ready for battle. The tension is palpable as they navigate through rough waters towards their target. The stronghold itself stands proudly against the backdrop of a rugged coastline, emphasizing its strategic importance. Waves crash against rocky cliffs, adding to the sense of urgency and danger surrounding this military operation. This illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 28th, 1859. It offers viewers a glimpse into an event that would have been widely discussed at that time. As we observe this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of both colonial expansion and cultural clashes during this period. It prompts us to reflect upon how these encounters shaped not only African history but also global relations between nations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this powerful piece from Fine Art Finder's collection for all to appreciate and learn from its historical significance.
