EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Taytou Betel, the Empress Consort of Menelik II of Ethiopia, in 1896. Taken by Henri Meyer, a renowned photographer from the 19th century, this image captures the grace and elegance of Empress Taytu Betul. Dressed in traditional Ethiopian attire adorned with exquisite jewels and jewelry, she exudes regality and power. The vibrant colors of her clothing reflect her status as an influential figure within the empire. Her confident gaze speaks volumes about her strength and determination. Published in Le Petit Journal in France on March 29,1896, this portrait highlights Empress Taytu's significance during a crucial period in Ethiopian history. As one of Emperor Menelik II's most trusted advisors and confidantes, she played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's destiny. This photograph not only immortalizes an extraordinary woman but also provides valuable insights into African royalty during that era. It serves as a reminder of Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and its place within global history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art for future generations to appreciate.
