The Streets of Civilization
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image, captured by Achille Beltrame, depicts the aftermath of the occupation of Amba Alagi during the turbulent times of war and colonization. In this powerful illustration for Courier Sunday on April 5th, 1936, we witness the tireless efforts of infantrymen, Blackshirts, and Indigenous Volunteers as they work together to build a road connecting Macalle with a rugged mountain pass. With soldier spades cutting through rocky terrain and workers shoveling away debris, this scene showcases their determination to establish order amidst chaos. The presence of African natives alongside Italian soldiers highlights the complex dynamics at play during colonial times. It serves as a reminder that wars not only shape landscapes but also impact local communities and cultures. Beltrame's artwork captures both the physical labor involved in constructing roads in challenging terrains and the broader implications of imperialism. Through his skilled use of color lithography, he brings life to this historical moment while shedding light on Italy's imperial ambitions in Ethiopia. "The Streets of Civilization" stands as an enduring testament to human resilience and adaptability even in times marked by conflict. This print invites viewers to reflect upon our shared history and consider its lasting effects on societies around the world.
