The image, created by Achille Beltrame, depicts the first Ethiopian wheat harvest grown by Italians in the territory of Oletta, located 40 kilometers from Addis Ababa. In this vibrant scene, ex-combatants can be seen organizing vast experimental plantations while indigenous people and authorities gather to witness this momentous occasion. The atmosphere is festive as men, women, and children come together to assist with threshing the wheat crop. The print showcases the unity between Italians and Ethiopians during this colonial period. It symbolizes their joint efforts in agriculture and highlights how experimentation played a crucial role in developing sustainable farming practices. The presence of soldiers adds an element of protection and security to these newly established plantations. Their collaboration with local farmers demonstrates the integration of different cultures for a common goal – fostering growth and prosperity within Ethiopia's agricultural sector. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures not only the physical labor involved but also the excitement surrounding this milestone event. The abundance of flags waving proudly signifies both Italian imperial pride and Ethiopian resilience.
