EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Abyssinian Expedition, the Middle Sooroo Defile in the Senafe Pass" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist during the 19th century, this print showcases a dramatic scene from the Abyssinian Expedition. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to the rugged and treacherous terrain of Eritrea and Ethiopia. The Middle Sooroo Defile in the Senafe Pass is depicted with meticulous detail, capturing both its awe-inspiring beauty and formidable challenges. The composition exudes a sense of adventure and danger as British soldiers navigate their way through this unforgiving landscape. The sheer cliffs rise high above them while narrow paths wind precariously along steep slopes. It's evident that every step forward requires immense courage and determination. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on February 8th, 1868, providing readers with a visual account of this remarkable expedition. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its historical significance and enduring appeal. "The Abyssinian Expedition" serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for exploration and conquest. It immortalizes not only the physical landscapes but also the spirit of those who dared to venture into unknown territories. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece of artistry from Fine Art Finder so that future generations can appreciate its historical value and artistic brilliance.
