EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during the 1930s, featuring the esteemed Haile Selassie I, Crown Prince and Regent of the Ethiopian Empire from 1916 to 1928, and later King and Regent from 1928 to 1930, and ultimately Emperor from 1930 to 1974. Surrounded by young European girls at an informal reception, Haile Selassie I exudes a warm and approachable demeanor, with a gentle smile gracing his face. The image was captured by the renowned Armenian court photographer, Haigaz Boyadjian, who expertly documented the Ethiopian royal family during this period. Haile Selassie I is a defining figure in modern Ethiopian history, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into his charisma and leadership. Taken in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, this image is a testament to the mythical status of Haile Selassie I as a ruler and leader in East Africa during the 1930s. The girls in the photograph, with their joyful expressions, add an element of happiness and lightness to the image, making it a truly memorable and evocative snapshot of history.
