EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Massowah, on the Red Sea Coast, occupied by the Italian Troops" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the coastal town of Massowah during its occupation by Italian troops. The image showcases the stunning beauty of Massowah's shoreline along the Red Sea coast. The coastline stretches out gracefully, meeting with crystal-clear waters that reflect shades of blue and green under a bright sky. A sense of tranquility emanates from this idyllic scene. However, beneath this peaceful facade lies an important historical context. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on February 19th, 1887. It serves as a visual documentation of Italy's presence in Eritrea during that time. The Italian troops are not depicted directly in this print; instead, their influence is implied through their occupation of Massowah. This artwork provides valuable insight into colonial expansion and maritime dominance during the late 19th century. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It invites viewers to ponder upon moments frozen in time and reflect on how they have shaped our world today.
