EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrari's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, offers a rare glimpse into the early 19th century cityscape of Adwa, Ethiopia. The image showcases the town's imposing city walls, punctuated by watchtowers and fortified gates, which once protected its inhabitants from external threats. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the architectural beauty and complexity of Adwa's urban planning, with narrow streets winding between the buildings and the verdant landscape beyond the city limits. Adwa, located in the northern part of Ethiopia, was a significant political and cultural center during the 19th century. The city's strategic location made it a valuable prize for European powers seeking to expand their influence in Africa. This engraving, with its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, not only serves as an historical record of Adwa's architectural heritage but also as a testament to the artistic mastery of Antonio Sasso and Giulio Ferrari. The intriguing juxtaposition of the fortified city walls and the lush greenery outside highlights the harmony between the built environment and the natural surroundings, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Adwa. This image invites us to explore the rich history and cultural heritage of this remarkable town in Ethiopia.
