EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history when Abyssinia (Ethiopia) faced the imminent threat of Italian aggression under the rule of Benito Mussolini. Taken on 9 May 1936, this powerful image showcases Mussolini, the Italian Fascist dictator, passionately shouting down a telephone as he relays news that Italy had successfully established an empire. The intensity and determination etched on his face are palpable, reflecting his unwavering commitment to imperialism and colonialism. The photograph is accompanied by text in Western script, emphasizing the significance of this historical event. It serves as a poignant reminder of the conflict and turmoil that engulfed Abyssinia during this period. The illustration technique employed adds depth and character to the image, enhancing its impact. Within this frame, we witness three men engaged in a crucial conversation that would shape their nations' destinies. Their presence indoors suggests secrecy or urgency surrounding these discussions. This snapshot from the past offers us a glimpse into an era dominated by propaganda and power struggles. As we reflect upon this momentous occasion through Universal Images Group's lens, it is essential to acknowledge both its historical importance and artistic merit. This print encapsulates not only political tensions but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity.
