EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the historic Battle of Adwa, which took place during the First Italo-Ethiopian War in 1896. Created by an anonymous French School artist from the late 19th or early 20th century, this educational card provides a vivid depiction of the intense conflict between Italian and Ethiopian forces. The image transports us to the battlefield, where African warriors fiercely engage with their Italian counterparts. The soldiers are seen firing their guns and artillery, highlighting the brutal nature of colonial warfare in Africa during the 19th century. The battle scene is filled with tension and chaos as troops confront each other amidst clouds of smoke and dust. Ethiopia's resistance against Italian aggression is symbolized by its determined soldiers who valiantly fight for their land and independence. They proudly wave their national flag while defending Abyssinia against European invasion. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Ethiopia's triumph at Adwa, where they successfully repelled Italy's attempt to colonize their country. It represents a significant moment in history when an African nation stood strong against imperial powers. Preserved in a private collection, this artwork captures not only a pivotal event but also reflects broader themes such as colonialism, armed conflict, and cultural clashes between Europe and Africa. Its historical significance makes it an invaluable piece that continues to inspire dialogue about past struggles for freedom and sovereignty.
