EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a somber moment in history, depicting the lifeless body of Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia, also known as Theodore. Taken at the end of the expedition to Abyssinia in 1868, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the emperor's tragic fate. Emperor Tewodros II was a significant figure in Ethiopian history during the 19th century. His ambitious expedition to Abyssinia aimed to modernize and strengthen his empire but ultimately ended in failure. Faced with defeat and isolation, he chose to take his own life rather than surrendering to his enemies. Published in Paris by L'univers Illustre in 1868, this illustration offers a glimpse into an era marked by exploration and colonialism. It highlights not only the historical significance of Emperor Tewodros II but also sheds light on European perceptions of African nations during that time. Ken Welsh's masterful capture brings forth both empathy and curiosity about this dark chapter in Ethiopian history. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as power struggles, cultural clashes, and personal sacrifice. As we gaze upon this haunting image, let us remember Emperor Tewodros II's legacy - one that encompasses bravery, ambition, and ultimately tragedy - forever etched within the annals of Ethiopian history.
