1938 Demonstrate Determined Duca Ethiopia Good Intentions Introduce Italians Tractors Watched
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history when Italians introduced tractors to Ethiopia in 1938. The Italians, determined to demonstrate their good intentions, can be seen showcasing the modern farming equipment to the locals of the country. In this image, we see the Duca d Aosta overseeing the introduction of tractors, symbolizing a new era of agricultural development in Ethiopia.
The presence of the Italians and their initiative to bring advanced technology like tractors to Africa reflects a pivotal point in colonial history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex events that unfolded during this time period and sheds light on Italy's efforts to establish influence in Ethiopia.
The Duca d Aosta's watchful gaze over the proceedings highlights the importance placed on this demonstration by Italian authorities. It is evident that they were keen on showcasing their commitment towards improving agriculture and infrastructure in Ethiopia through such initiatives.
Overall, this historical photograph not only documents a specific event but also encapsulates broader themes of colonization, progress, and cultural exchange. It serves as a visual representation of an important chapter in Ethiopian-Italian relations during the late 1930s.
