EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Court trial in Ethiopia - illustration, 1906" takes us back to a significant moment in Ethiopian history. The image depicts a courtroom scene where justice is being administered according to the penal code known as Fetha Nagast (Law of Kings). In this traditional legal system, the Negus, or king, acts as the supreme authority. The chromolithograph showcases an array of vibrant colors that bring life to the scene. Amidst the solemn atmosphere, we see judges presiding over the trial while a diverse group of individuals observe with anticipation. The artist's attention to detail is evident in their portrayal of African attire and hairstyles, providing cultural authenticity. Ethiopia's rich heritage and deep-rooted legal traditions are beautifully captured through this artwork. It offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) and its judicial practices during that era. Notably, one cannot overlook the presence of goats within this illustration. These farm animals symbolize purity and innocence but also serve as a reminder that justice must be upheld even for those who may seem insignificant or voiceless. As we delve into this historical masterpiece by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, it becomes apparent that law and order were paramount in Ethiopian society at the turn of the century. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on how different cultures approach justice and reminds us of our shared humanity across borders and time periods.
