EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bold shot of the Gondarini hand" by Achille Beltrame depicts a remarkable moment in history. The image showcases a bold coup de mano executed by the Gondarini, a column of national and indigenous soldiers from the Gondar area. With great surprise, they launch an attack on the English camp of Amba Ghiorghis during World War II. The scene is filled with intense action and chaos as smoke billows from explosions and gunfire fills the air. The indigenous soldiers show immense courage as they fight alongside their allies against the enemy forces. Buildings crumble, corpses lay scattered, and rifles are raised high in battle. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on October 19th, 1941 captures this pivotal moment when resistance is broken and abundant loot is seized. Notably, the headquarters of command and radio station are destroyed in this victorious assault. Through this powerful artwork, we catch a glimpse into the bravery and determination displayed by both African natives and their allied forces during wartime. It serves as a reminder of their significant contributions to history amidst colonial struggles. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon not only military tactics but also cultural exchange between nations during times of conflict. Beltrame's skillful depiction brings this historical event to life with vivid colors that draw us into its dramatic narrative.
