EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a significant episode of the British Expedition to Abyssinia in 1867-1868. The image showcases Magdala, a historical location nestled within the picturesque Valley of the Bashilo in Ethiopia. The monochrome engraving, sourced from James Grant's renowned book "British Battles on Land and Sea" offers a glimpse into this remote country's geography and military history. The scene depicts an ethereal landscape with the Bashilo River meandering through the valley, surrounded by lush greenery and rugged mountains. This breathtaking view serves as a reminder of Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and its significance in global history. Magdala itself holds great importance as it was at this very site that one of Britain's most controversial war crimes took place during their expedition. Although not explicitly mentioned for commercial use, this print allows us to reflect upon past events while appreciating its artistic value. As we delve into this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty of nature and the scars left by conflict. It is through such prints that we can explore different facets of our world – be it geographical features or historic moments – all encapsulated within a single frame.
