EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing "King Theodores House, Magdala" from Cassells Illustrated History of England. The image captures the essence of a bygone era with its intricate engraving technique. The focal point of the picture is King Tewodro II's stronghold, nestled amidst the breathtaking Ethiopian landscape. Perched on a mountainous cliff, this thatched-roof house stands as a testament to both strength and vulnerability. It was here that King Tewodro sought refuge in 1867 when faced with British forces led by Sir Robert Napier. The composition exudes an air of mystery and grandeur as it transports us to a time when leaders ruled over vast territories. The majestic mountains in the background serve as a reminder of Ethiopia's awe-inspiring natural beauty. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the clash between cultures and powers during colonial times. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an eventful chapter in Ethiopian history while also highlighting the resilience and determination displayed by its ruler. With its rich details and evocative atmosphere, this print invites us to reflect upon our own place within history while appreciating the artistry captured by English School artists over a century ago.
