EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The British Expedition to Abyssinia, the Amba Aladjieh, near Lake Ashangi" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of a military expedition that unfolded in Ethiopia (then known as Abyssinia). The scene depicted showcases the breathtaking topography surrounding Lake Ashangi and highlights the formidable Amba Aladjieh fortress perched on its precipice. The image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on May 9th, 1868. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when British forces embarked on an ambitious mission to Abyssinia. Their objective: to rescue British captives held by Emperor Tewodros II. The landscape portrayed is both awe-inspiring and foreboding; it reflects the challenges faced by these brave soldiers as they navigated unfamiliar terrain and encountered fierce resistance from local defenders. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse of not only the military aspect but also the natural beauty of Ethiopia's landscapes. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture historical events while simultaneously celebrating nature's grandeur. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to delve into history and appreciate both the courage of those involved in this expedition and the stunning landscapes that served as their backdrop.
