Engraved by Aumont in approximately 1840, this colour lithograph showcases the intricate details and vibrant hues that bring these individuals to life. The image captures the essence of African physiognomy, highlighting their unique facial features and expressions. Their hairstyles are particularly striking, showcasing a variety of traditional Ethiopian styles that reflect their rich cultural heritage. From elaborate braids to intricately woven patterns, each hairstyle tells a story of identity and tradition. These proud Abyssinians are depicted wearing togas, symbolizing their connection to ancient civilizations and emphasizing their status as indigenous people. The composition exudes strength and resilience while also inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty found within diverse cultures. Preserved in Paris' Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs archives, this historical photograph offers an invaluable window into Ethiopia's past.
