EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Distant view of the former capital of Shoa, Ankober, Ethiopia" (circa 1870), offers a historical glimpse into the rich and complex past of Ethiopia. Ankober, once the capital city of the Shoa region, is situated in the central part of Ethiopia and lies at an elevation of approximately 7,500 feet above sea level. The image, taken from a distance, showcases the rugged terrain and the grandeur of the landscape that surrounds the ancient city. The former capital city of Ankober holds immense historical significance, as it was the seat of power for several Ethiopian rulers, including Emperor Tewodros II and Emperor Menelik II. The city was strategically located, providing a natural fortress and a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. The architectural structures depicted in the print, including the stone walls and the church, are remnants of the rich cultural heritage that once thrived in this region. The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of Ethiopia during a time when the country was undergoing significant changes. The image is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the Ethiopian people, who have managed to preserve their unique culture and traditions despite the challenges and upheavals of history. This print is an essential addition to any collection of historical Ethiopian art or African art, and it serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of Ethiopia and its people. The image invites us to explore the stories and legends that have shaped the Ethiopian identity and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this remarkable country.
