EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a group of valiant Dubat, the black shooters of Somalia, as they guard an advanced post. The image is a colour lithograph created by Achille Beltrame in 1935 and is part of a private collection. The Dubat were known for their bravery and skill as sharpshooters during times of conflict. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these African soldiers stand proudly with rifles in hand, ready to defend their country. Their traditional attire includes white turbans that symbolize their cultural heritage. The scene depicted here showcases the rugged beauty of the Somali countryside. As we gaze upon the soldiers standing amidst green pastures and flower meadows, it becomes clear that war has touched even these remote corners of Africa. Beltrame's illustration captures not only the military aspect but also highlights the rich traditions and history embedded within Somali culture. This image serves as a reminder of Italy's imperial presence in Africa during this period. As we reflect on this powerful artwork, it prompts us to contemplate both the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers and the complexities surrounding colonialism. It offers us a glimpse into a specific moment in history when cultures clashed on distant shores. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Beltrame's artistic talent but also provides insight into an important chapter in African history - one where courage meets tradition on foreign soil.
