EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a woman from Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia, in East Africa, during the 1920s. The woman is adorned with an intricately built-up hairdo, achieved through the use of gum and a light framework. Her hair, which is styled in large curls and adorned with beads and a necklace, is a testament to the unique and rich cultural traditions of the region. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age, was a time of great social and cultural change around the world. In Africa, the continent was undergoing its own transformations, with many communities continuing to preserve their traditional ways of life while also adapting to new influences. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of one such community in Abyssinia. The woman's costume, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reflects the rich textile traditions of the region. Her confident and regal posture speaks to the strength and resilience of the African people, who have long faced challenges and yet have continued to thrive. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the diverse and fascinating cultures that exist around the world, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique traditions and histories of each community. The woman in this photograph is not just a figure from the past, but a symbol of the complex and dynamic history of Africa and its people.
