EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Isle of Mussowah, in the Red Sea, the Head-Quarters of the Abyssinian Relief Mission" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the bustling scene at the headquarters of the Abyssinian Relief Mission. Set against a picturesque coastal backdrop along Eritrea's Massawa coast, we see an array of ships anchored near tents that serve as temporary shelters for those involved in this humanitarian effort. The maritime atmosphere is palpable as sailors and relief workers go about their duties amidst a vibrant shoreline. The Isle of Mussowah emerges as a pivotal location during this mission, acting as both a logistical hub and symbolizing hope for those affected by turmoil in Abyssinia (now Ethiopia). This illustration originally appeared on October 28th, 1865 issue of The Illustrated London News—a testament to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back to an era where compassion and aid transcended borders. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, humanity has always found ways to come together and offer support to those most in need.
