EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the invasion of Abyssinia by Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime in 1935. Seeking revenge for Italy's previous military defeats in Ethiopia during the First Italo-Abyssinian war, Mussolini embarked on this aggressive campaign. The image showcases Haile Selassie I, who served as Ethiopia's regent from 1916 to 1930 and later became Emperor until 1974. In this photograph, we see Selassie seated with a group of men, exuding an air of authority and resilience. His presence is commanding as he sits upon his throne under a parasol, symbolizing his royal stature amidst the turmoil of war. The sepia tones lend a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. Published in London's Daily Express newspaper in 1938 as part of "These Tremendous Years" this portrait offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics that shaped the early twentieth century. It serves as a reminder of both Ethiopia's struggle for independence and Mussolini's expansionist ambitions. As we observe this powerful composition from a low angle view, it evokes contemplation about the consequences of war and imperialism during that era. This monochrome publication provides us with insight into Ethiopian culture while also shedding light on global events such as World War I. The print collector responsible for preserving this piece has captured an iconic moment that encapsulates not only Haile Selassie’s reign but also Benito Muss
