EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant episode of the British Expedition to Abyssinia in the late 19th century. The image showcases the English Army on the March in Abyssinia, providing a glimpse into this historical event that shaped both Britain's military prowess and its relationship with Ethiopia. The monochrome engraving, taken from James Grant's book "British Battles on Land and Sea" transports us back to a time when warfare was conducted with great valor and strategic planning. The soldiers depicted exude strength and determination as they traverse the rugged terrain of Abyssinia. In this scene, we witness an army prepared for battle, marching forward with purpose amidst breathtaking landscapes. Their uniforms proudly display their allegiance to Britain, while also symbolizing their commitment to upholding imperial interests abroad. As we delve deeper into history through this print, it is important to acknowledge the complex nature of colonial expeditions like these. While celebrated as heroic endeavors at the time, they are now often scrutinized for potential war crimes committed against local populations. Nevertheless, this print serves as a reminder of our collective past - one filled with triumphs and controversies alike. It invites us to reflect upon how far we have come since those days while appreciating the artistic beauty captured within this historic moment.
