EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a significant moment in history - the Italians erecting a cross on Mount Termaker as a symbol of the freedom and civilisation they believed they were bestowing upon Africa. Taken in 1938, during Italy's colonial rule over Ethiopia, this image is laden with political undertones and historical significance.
The imposing cross stands tall against the backdrop of Mount Termaker, serving as a stark reminder of Italy's power and dominance over the African continent. It represents not only the physical presence of Italian forces in Ethiopia but also their perceived role as civilisers bringing progress to what they saw as an uncivilised land.
However, viewed through a modern lens, this image also serves as a poignant reminder of the dark legacy of colonialism and imperialism. The erection of such symbols was often accompanied by violence, oppression, and exploitation - all in the name of so-called "civilisation" and "freedom".
As we reflect on this photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded that history is complex and multifaceted. It challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths about our past while also inspiring us to strive for justice, equality, and reconciliation in our present-day world.
