EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the burning of Magdala Fortress in Abyssinia. The image captures the aftermath of a fierce battle on Mount Fahla, where the British Army clashed with Abyssinian forces. Published in 1875 as part of "El Mundo En La Mano" this nineteenth-century illustration transports us to a time when Ethiopia was known as Abyssinia. The photograph showcases the devastating consequences of war, as flames engulf the once-mighty stronghold. The fortress stands tall against a backdrop of billowing smoke, its walls crumbling under the intense heat. It is an eerie and haunting scene that speaks volumes about the destructive power unleashed during conflicts. Magdala Fortress holds historical significance for both Britain and Ethiopia. For the British Army, it represented their triumph over Emperor Tewodros II's rule and marked their successful expedition into Ethiopian territory. Conversely, for Ethiopians, it symbolized resistance against foreign invasion and remains etched in their collective memory. Ken Welsh's masterful capture allows us to witness this pivotal moment from our own vantage point, evoking emotions ranging from awe to sorrow. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded not only of humanity's capacity for destruction but also our shared responsibility to strive for peace and understanding across nations and cultures.
