The print showcases the determination and resilience of those involved in this monumental task. The image portrays a scene filled with activity, as soldiers, workers, and Africans collaborate to push forward amidst rough Ethiopian slopes.

The presence of soldier uniforms, heavy equipment, cars being towed or pushed, and howitzers being hauled emphasizes both military might and technological advancements during that era.

Beltrame's attention to detail brings life to each element within the composition - from the intricate depiction of clothing worn by individuals to meticulously rendered vehicles navigating treacherous terrain.

This remarkable print serves as a historical document showcasing Italy's efforts to expand its empire while shedding light on Ethiopia's resistance against colonization. "On the way to Dessie" stands as a testament to human perseverance amidst challenging circumstances and provides viewers with insight into an important chapter in African history.
