By Sheer Pluck: a tale of the Ashanti War, etc
A boys' adventure novel by G. A. Henty set in the Ashanti War, issued by Blackie & Son in London in 1884 for young readers. Eleven captioned full-page wood engravings show armed scouts pushing through tall grass and bush, a boy lost in forest, and a figure alone in a bare room, drawn in dense hatching with pale skies that give designers cut-out figure silhouettes and plate captions.
