Depicting "The Egypto-Abyssinian Dispute, the Port of Massowah" this print offers a window into an era when global powers vied for control over strategic locations. The scene showcases the bustling port of Massowah (now known as Massawa), located in present-day Eritrea. Ships dotting the harbor and figures going about their daily activities create a vivid sense of life in this crucial trading hub. At its heart, however, lies a deeper story - one that reveals the complex dynamics between Egypt and Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia).
