EDITORS COMMENTS
The Failed Attack: A Glimpse into the Battle of Abbi Addi". In this print by Achille Beltrame, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the failed attack by 7000 Ethiopian soldiers on Abbi Addi. The lithograph, filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, captures the intensity and desperation of the battle. After seven hours of fierce combat, the modernly armed soldiers of Negus find themselves beaten and decimated. In their attempt to escape from the relentless Eritrean troops, they face not only ground forces but also aviation and artillery assistance. The image showcases airplanes flying overhead, dropping explosives onto the battlefield below. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on January 5th, 1936. It serves as a powerful reminder of Ethiopia's struggle against colonial powers during that time. The African soldiers charging forward with rifles in hand depict their determination to defend their land against imperial forces. The lithograph beautifully portrays both chaos and bravery amidst explosions and gunfire. It offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in African history when nations fought for independence and sovereignty. This remarkable artwork is part of a private collection but has been made available through Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images. As we gaze upon this print today, let us remember those who valiantly fought for freedom against overwhelming odds.
