EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Ethiopian history. Haile Selassie, the revered Emperor of Ethiopia, is seen here in his study at the palace in Addis Ababa. The year is 1942, shortly after the defeat of the Italians and his triumphant return to his homeland. Haile Selassie's expression carries a mix of determination and wisdom as he sits surrounded by books and documents, symbolizing his intellectual prowess and dedication to leading his nation forward. This image serves as a testament to his resilience during years of exile in England from 1936 to 1941. The Emperor's return marked a turning point for Ethiopia, signaling the end of Italian occupation (also known as Abyssinia) and restoring independence. On May 5th, Haile Selassie entered Addis Ababa amidst jubilant celebrations that echoed throughout the city. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of Haile Selassie's regal presence but also of the strength and spirit embodied by all Ethiopians during this challenging period. It stands as an enduring reminder of their fight against adversity and their unwavering commitment to freedom. This remarkable image was captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), offering us a glimpse into an important chapter in Ethiopian history that continues to inspire generations today.
