EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment as the British Army discovers the lifeless body of Tewodros II, also known as Theodore II, Emperor of Ethiopia. The image is taken from "El Mundo En La Mano" a publication dating back to 1875. In this poignant illustration, we witness the aftermath of Tewodros' tragic suicide in 1868. The British soldiers stand solemnly around his lifeless figure, their presence highlighting the immense impact and influence he held over his people during his reign. As ruler of Ethiopia from approximately 1818 until his untimely death, Tewodros played a vital role in shaping Ethiopian history. The photograph showcases an English army's discovery amidst the stunning backdrop of Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia). It serves as a reminder of both the power struggles that characterized this era and the profound consequences they had on individuals like Tewodros. Through this evocative visual representation by Ken Welsh, viewers are transported back to the nineteenth century – an era defined by political upheaval and colonial expansionism. This image invites contemplation on themes such as imperialism, cultural clashes, and personal tragedy. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time through Ken Welsh's lens, we are reminded of how photography can capture not only events but also emotions that transcend time itself.
