EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of Menelik II, the esteemed King of Ethiopia. Taken by an unknown photographer in the 19th century, this portrait captures the essence of a powerful ruler who left an indelible mark on Ethiopian history. Menelik II, born in 1844, was not only a monarch but also a visionary leader who modernized his country and successfully defended it against European colonization. His reign marked a period of significant political and social reforms that propelled Ethiopia into the global stage. In this photograph, Menelik II exudes confidence and authority as he gazes directly at the camera. The fine details captured by Giancarlo Costa's expert reproduction bring out every line on his face, revealing wisdom beyond his years. The image serves as a testament to Menelik II's enduring legacy as one of Africa's most influential leaders. It is no wonder why this portrait has found its place in private collections worldwide. As we admire this remarkable piece of African photography, let us reflect upon Menelik II's contributions to Ethiopia and celebrate his role in shaping its rich cultural heritage.
