EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Ras Makonnen Walda-Mika el Guddisa, a pivotal figure in Ethiopian history, in his regal attire as the governor of Harar province around the year 1902. Born as Makonnen Wolde Mikael, Ras Makonnen later earned the title of Ras, which translates to 'prince' or 'chief,' for his military accomplishments. He played a crucial role in defending Ethiopia against external threats, particularly from European powers. The image showcases Ras Makonnen's elaborate and ornate dress, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia. The intricate design of the rug or carpet beneath him adds to the opulence of the scene. Ras Makonnen is seated on a throne, further emphasizing his position of power and authority. Ras Makonnen's legacy extends beyond his military and political achievements, as he is also the father of Tafari Makonnen, who later became Emperor Haile Selassie I. Haile Selassie is revered as a symbol of Ethiopian nationalism and independence, and his reign marked a significant period in Ethiopian history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the history, culture, and traditions of Ethiopia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The intricacies of Ras Makonnen's costume, the elaborate rug beneath him, and the regal setting all contribute to the captivating image that tells the story of a proud and resilient people.
