EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "An Abyssinian Lourdes, Pilgrims at the Holy Lake on Mount Zouquala" takes us back in time to Ethiopia in the early 20th century. Created by Frank Dadd and reproduced from an engraving for The Graphic magazine in 1901, this print captures a moment of spiritual devotion and pilgrimage. The scene depicts Mount Zouquala, a sacred site known as the Abyssinian Lourdes. Here, pilgrims gather around the holy lake, their figures silhouetted against the dramatic landscape. Their presence is a testament to their deep faith and belief in the healing powers of this mystical place. Ethiopia has long been a land rich with religious traditions and rituals. This image offers us a glimpse into one such tradition – pilgrimages to sacred sites like Mount Zouquala. These journeys are undertaken by devotees seeking solace, renewal, or divine intervention. The artist's attention to detail brings this scene to life: from the intricate patterns on traditional clothing worn by these pilgrims to the serene beauty of nature surrounding them. Through his skillful rendering, Dadd invites viewers into this spiritual realm where faith intertwines with nature. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for meaning and connection beyond ourselves. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that transports us across time and space into Ethiopia's vibrant cultural tapestry.
