EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning Wadela Plateau in Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia. Engraved by J. Ferguson in a lithograph style, this image captures the essence of the rugged landscape and its inhabitants. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the Abyssinian horsemen, who dominate the foreground with their majestic presence. Clad in traditional attire, they proudly display their spears and shields while mounted on their powerful steeds. Their regal stature reflects both strength and nobility. The artist behind this masterpiece is Sir Richard Rivington Holmes, who accompanied a British expedition to Abyssinia in 1868. His sketch served as inspiration for this lithograph, which beautifully depicts the vastness of the valley below and the towering plateaux that surround it. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a time when King Theodore ruled over these lands. The mountainous terrain adds an element of drama to the composition, emphasizing both its beauty and harshness. This print from a private collection offers us a glimpse into history – an exploration into an ancient land filled with rich culture and breathtaking landscapes. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's wonders and our fascination with distant lands steeped in mystery.
