EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Ethiopian Chief, captured through the lens of renowned American photographer Fred Holland Day. Born in 1864 and passing away in 1933, Day was known for his exceptional talent in capturing the essence and beauty of his subjects. Taken in 1897, this negative was transformed into a stunning gum bichromate print around 1905, revealing intricate details and rich tones. The photograph measures approximately 11.9 x 11.7 cm (4 11/16 x 4 5/8 inches), allowing viewers to appreciate the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Ethiopian Chief stands proudly before us, exuding strength and dignity. His regal attire reflects his status within his community while also showcasing the vibrant cultural heritage of Ethiopia. Through this image, Day invites us to explore different cultures and broaden our understanding of diversity. In this particular piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time and space by immortalizing individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities or societies at large.
