EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment when Menelik II, Emperor of Ethiopia, stands triumphantly at the camp of Adwa after the defeat of the Italian army in the First Italo-Ethiopian War of 1896. The image showcases a powerful and regal figure on horseback, surrounded by his loyal soldiers and warriors. Menelik II's victory over the Italians marked a significant turning point in Ethiopian history and became a symbol of resistance against colonialism. His strategic brilliance and leadership skills led to this remarkable triumph, solidifying his status as an influential monarch. The scene is filled with energy and excitement as horses gallop through the camp, reflecting both military might and equestrian prowess. The presence of various animals adds to the liveliness of this historical moment. In this late 19th-century depiction, we witness not only a victorious emperor but also glimpse into African history during a time when European powers sought to expand their influence across the continent. Menelik II's resolute stance serves as an enduring testament to Ethiopia's independence and resilience. This engraving from Le Petit Parisien provides us with a visual narrative that encapsulates bravery, determination, and national pride. It reminds us of Ethiopia's rich heritage while highlighting one man's extraordinary role in shaping its destiny.
