EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Ethiopian history - the assault of Makalle by the Choans of Menelik II against the Italian army. The image, taken from an engraving published in "Le Petite Parisien" in 1896, showcases the fierce battle between African and Italian forces during a time of colonialism and conflict. The scene is filled with intensity as soldiers engage in combat, their determination evident on their faces. The black and white composition adds to the historical significance of this event, transporting us back to a time when Ethiopia fought for its independence against foreign invaders. Menelik II, one of Ethiopia's most revered leaders, led his troops into battle against the Italian army under Emperor Umberto I. This clash symbolized not only Ethiopia's resistance to colonization but also its strength and unity as a nation. The engraving itself is a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and sovereignty. As we observe this powerful image today, it prompts us to reflect on Ethiopia's rich history and resilience. It stands as a tribute to all those who have fought for justice and liberation throughout Africa's past struggles with colonial powers.
