EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and resilience in the Village of Adua (Adwa) (Adowa), located in the Tigre region of Ethiopia, Africa. It is a place that holds great significance as it was here that Emperor Menelik II led his forces to a remarkable victory over the Italians in battle. The image showcases an exquisite blend of architectural beauty and cultural heritage. The turquoise-painted houses stand proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery, creating a picturesque scene that transports us back to a time long gone. Every corner exudes charm and tells stories of triumph and bravery. As we gaze upon this street scene, we can almost hear echoes from the past reverberating through its narrow alleys. The buildings bear witness to years gone by, with their weathered exteriors serving as a reminder of the battles fought on these very grounds. The people who call this village home are living testaments to their ancestors' courage and determination. Their presence adds life and vibrancy to every corner they inhabit. A visit to this historic place is not just an exploration into Ethiopia's rich history but also an opportunity for introspection—a chance to reflect on how one small village played such a significant role in shaping Eastern Africa's destiny. Bruno Barbier/Robert Harding has masterfully captured all these elements within this stunning photograph, inviting viewers from around the world to immerse themselves in its timeless allure.
