The King in Somalia
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that captures the essence of an extraordinary journey through Somali land. The image showcases the vibrant and picturesque dances performed by the native people in honor of their Sovereign, King Victor Emmanuel III. As soldiers march with flags held high, the dancers move gracefully, showcasing their rich cultural heritage. Their colorful attire and intricate choreography create a mesmerizing spectacle for all who witness it. The Italian army officers and officials stand alongside nationalist onlookers, watching in awe as they experience the beauty of Somali culture. This print not only represents a royal visit but also symbolizes Italy's colonial presence in Somalia during this time period. It serves as a reminder of Italy's imperial ambitions and its desire to showcase its power and influence over its colonies. Beltrame Achille, the talented illustrator behind this piece, skillfully captures every detail - from the spears held by warriors to the expressions on both audience members' faces and those performing. His work transports viewers back to this momentous occasion, allowing them to appreciate both the cultural exchange taking place and Italy's military might. "The King in Somalia" is more than just a photograph; it is a window into history - one that highlights both national pride and cross-cultural appreciation within an empire striving for dominance abroad.
