EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Abyssinian Expedition, Berbereh, on the Coast of Africa, opposite Aden" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the dramatic events that unfolded during the Abyssinian Expedition. The scene depicted showcases ships anchored off the coast of Africa near Berbereh, opposite Aden. The maritime setting adds depth and grandeur to this historical event. It is believed that this illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on April 18th, 1868. The Abyssinian Expedition refers to a military campaign undertaken by British forces against Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia (then known as Abyssinia). This conflict took place between 1867 and 1868 and aimed to secure the release of British hostages held captive by Tewodros II. As we study this engraving closely, we can imagine the anticipation felt by those aboard these ships as they prepared for battle or awaited orders from their commanders. The vessels stand tall against an expansive horizon while waves crash gently against their hulls. This print serves as both a reminder of past struggles and triumphs and an invitation to explore further into our shared history. It captures not only the essence of maritime warfare but also highlights how art can preserve important moments for generations to come.
