Addis Ababa Market - A Glimpse into the Bustling Abyssinian Trade Hub of 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the vibrant Addis Merkato marketplace, situated in the heart of Addis Ababa, capital of Abyssinia (now Ethiopia). Captured circa 1900 by General Photographic Agency, this image showcases a bustling scene that epitomizes the essence of African trade. Spread across several square miles, Addis Merkato stands as Africa's largest open market. In this snapshot, we witness a sea of people navigating through narrow pathways lined with countless stalls. The air is filled with an amalgamation of sounds - merchants haggling over prices, animals braying and bleating from their pens, and customers bargaining for goods. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life within this thriving hub. Traders proudly display their wares ranging from textiles to spices while others tend to livestock awaiting new owners. The diversity on offer reflects not only local produce but also goods brought from far-flung corners of Africa. With its format set in landscape orientation, every corner reveals another layer of activity; it is impossible to capture all that transpires within these crowded streets in one frame alone. Yet, this single snapshot encapsulates the energy and liveliness that has defined Addis Merkato throughout history. As we admire this historical artifact preserved by Fine Art Storehouse today, let us appreciate how markets like these
