EDITORS COMMENTS
The Attack on a Caravan: A Peculiar Bullfight in the Ethiopian Desert". This photo print, titled "The Attack on a Caravan" captures a dramatic moment during an intense battle in the heart of the Ethiopian desert. Created by Achille Beltrame in 1935, this color lithograph showcases the chaos and disorder that ensued when our soldiers surprised an Ethiopian caravan. In this scene, hundreds of camels skid in every direction, disoriented and afraid as they try to escape their captors. The Italians had managed to stop and stack these quadrupeds among their salmeries after enormous efforts. Alongside them are two captured Ethiopian drivers who were taken prisoner during the attack. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday perfectly depicts the clash between two cultures and military forces. The Italian soldiers, dressed in their uniforms with rifles at hand, confront African natives defending their land. It is a powerful representation of colonial warfare and its consequences. This image not only highlights the intensity of battle but also sheds light on Ethiopia's struggle against Italian imperial possessions. The presence of guns, weapons, and prisoners further emphasizes the gravity of this conflict. "The Attack on a Caravan" serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that immortalizes this significant event from Africa's past. It reminds us of the complex dynamics between colonizers and native populations while showcasing Beltrame's exceptional talent as an illustrator capturing wildlife animals amidst warfare.
