EDITORS COMMENTS
Un coin d'Addis-Abeba; Le Nord-Est Africain, 1914" is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in the French magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The photograph depicts a scenic view of Addis Ababa, with the city's landscape stretching out before the viewer's eyes. The image is dominated by the rugged terrain of the Shewa plateau, with its rolling hills and rocky outcroppings. In the foreground, a group of African men and women are shown going about their daily activities, adding a sense of life and energy to the scene. The photograph provides a fascinating window into the past of Addis Ababa, which was then a relatively small and largely undeveloped city. At the time, Ethiopia was not yet a colonial possession of any European power, and the country was able to maintain its independence throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite its remote location in the heart of Africa, Addis Ababa was already beginning to attract the attention of the outside world in the early 1900s. The city was a hub of diplomatic activity, with representatives from various European powers and the United States maintaining embassies there. The photograph reflects the city's status as a crossroads of cultures and influences, with both African and European elements visible in the scene. Today, "Un coin d'Addis-Abeba; Le Nord-Est Africain, 1914" is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the past of Ethiopia and the broader African continent. The photograph's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that is both familiar and foreign.
