The Abyssinian Expedition - A Glimpse into the British Camp at Senafe on Christmas Day
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, offers a remarkable snapshot of history. Depicting the British Camp at Senafe during the Abyssinian Expedition, it provides a window into an extraordinary moment in time. The scene is set on a serene Christmas Day, where soldiers and officers gather amidst their military camps in Eritrea, Ethiopia. The landscape stretches out before them with its rugged beauty and untamed wilderness. As they celebrate this special occasion far from home, one can only imagine their thoughts and emotions. The artist's attention to detail transports us back to that distant era; we can almost feel the crispness of the air and hear whispers of camaraderie among troops. The camp comes alive with activity as soldiers engage in various tasks while others take respite from their duties. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on February 1st, 1868. It captures not just a historical event but also serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability even under challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us of our shared past and how individuals have always found ways to come together despite being far away from loved ones during festive seasons like Christmas. This artwork stands as both a tribute to those involved in the expedition and an invitation for us all to reflect on our own connections with
