EDITORS COMMENTS
The occupation of the vast and unexplored western areas of Ethiopia continues in this colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame. The image portrays a pivotal moment in history, as General Geloso's column makes its arduous journey through the Sidamo Galla region, relentlessly forging a path through the untouched virgin forest. The illustration, originally published in Courier Sunday on 9 August 1936, showcases the immense effort required to administer and control these newly acquired territories. With soldiers armed with rifles and axes, they work tirelessly to cut down trees and clear roads for easier access and governance. This scene encapsulates the complexities of colonialism as Italian forces strive to establish their presence amidst lush African jungles. Beltrame's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. From the determined expressions on the faces of workers to the towering trees being felled, every element speaks volumes about Italy's imperial ambitions in Africa during that era. This print serves as a reminder of both human resilience and environmental impact. It highlights not only military conquest but also raises questions about land exploitation and cultural assimilation within occupied regions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection, we are transported back in time – witnessing an important chapter in Ethiopian history unfold before our eyes.
