EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Gondar city in Abyssinia 70, the source of the Nile River at the fountains of Geesh 71, and three queens of Sennaar 72" takes us on a journey through time to explore the rich history and natural wonders of Africa. Captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving offers a glimpse into a world unknown to many. The image showcases Gondar city, nestled within its majestic fortress walls in Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia). The intricate details highlight the architectural beauty and grandeur that once defined this ancient city. In contrast, we are transported to witness nature's marvels as we gaze upon the fountains of Geesh - believed to be one of the sources of the mighty Nile River. The springs gushing forth from Geesh create a mesmerizing spectacle that reminds us of nature's power and beauty. Adding another layer to this visual narrative are three queens from Sennaar, their regal presence accentuated by their ornate turbans and exquisite jewelry. These queens embody strength, grace, and cultural richness while offering a glimpse into African royalty. Reviving history with vibrant colors and meticulous detail, this artwork serves as both amusement for little travelers seeking knowledge beyond their homes and instruction for those eager to learn about distant lands. It is an invitation to embark on an imaginary voyage through Africa's diverse landscapes, historical landmarks, and fascinating cultures – all encapsulated within this single captivating image.
