EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Italian Occupation of Massowah, Red Sea. The image showcases the iconic scene of the Italian flag being hoisted high above the city of Massawa (also known as Massowah or Mitsiwa) on the coast of Eritrea. This engraving, created in 1885, beautifully depicts this historical event with its illustrative technique and Victorian charm. The Italian Occupation of Massowah marked an important chapter in Italy's colonial ambitions during the late 19th century. As seen in this vintage print, it symbolizes their desire to expand their influence across strategic locations along the Red Sea coast. The retro-styled aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this engraving, transporting us back to a time when such historic moments were captured through engravements like these. It serves as a reminder not only of our past but also how art and culture have evolved over time. As we admire this piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its historical significance. This image invites us to reflect upon the complexities and consequences that arise from colonization and territorial expansion.
