The Historic Meeting of Badoglio and Graziani Fighters in the Harrar Area
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color lithograph captures a significant moment in history, depicting the meeting of two formidable forces - the Badoglio and Graziani fighters - in the Harrar area. The artwork, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases a pivotal event that took place during Italy's colonial expansion into Ethiopia. The scene is filled with frenetic scenes of joy as an infantryman battalion arrives by railway from Addis Ababa to meet a Legion of Blackshirts from Harrar. Amidst the chaos on the platforms, soldiers proudly wave their flags while celebrating this momentous conjunction of two fronts achieved within just seven months. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on May 24th, 1936 perfectly encapsulates both the struggle and triumph experienced during this period. The image highlights not only the military might displayed through rifles and weapons but also emphasizes unity between Italian officers and African soldiers. The lithograph transports us back to a time when Africa was embroiled in conflict as European powers vied for control over colonies. It serves as a reminder of Italy's imperial ambitions and its determination to expand its influence beyond its borders. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by those who fought on both sides, highlighting their dedication to their respective causes. This historic meeting symbolizes not only a clash between armed forces but also represents an important chapter in Africa's struggle for independence against colonial powers.
