EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the British missionary Rev. Henry Aaron Stern taken prisoner by Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia in Abyssinia back in 1863. The image showcases the intense and threatening atmosphere as Stern finds himself at gunpoint, held captive by the powerful ruler. Rev. Henry Aaron Stern, born in 1820 and passing away in 1885, dedicated his life to spreading Christianity through his missionary work. However, during this particular encounter with Tewodros II, he found himself caught up in the political turmoil of Abyssinia. Tewodros II, also known as Theodore II after being baptized into Christianity around 1818-1868, was an influential emperor who sought to modernize Ethiopia while maintaining its independence from foreign powers. This photograph serves as a testament to his authority and determination. Published in El Mundo En La Mano in 1875 by Ken Welsh's collection of historical illustrations, this image transports us back to the nineteenth century when European missionaries ventured into distant lands for their religious endeavors. It offers a glimpse into the complexities of colonialism and cultural clashes that characterized this era. Through this thought-provoking photo print, we are reminded of the immense bravery exhibited by individuals like Rev. Henry Aaron Stern who risked their lives to spread their beliefs across borders and cultures.
