EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the rugged landscapes of Ethiopia in the late 19th century. Titled "Abyssinia Head Glen Sooroo Pass" it captures a breathtaking view of a glen near Sooroo Pass, with its majestic mountains towering over an untouched valley below. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Ronald Ruthven Leslie-Melville, a Scottish artist known for his exceptional eye in capturing natural beauty. Taken around 1867-1868, this albumen silver print showcases Leslie-Melville's mastery in composing striking scenes that evoke a sense of awe and wonder. As we gaze upon this ethereal landscape, we are reminded of Abyssinia's rich history and untamed wilderness. The sheer grandeur of the glen invites us to explore its hidden secrets and immerse ourselves in its tranquility. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing every contour and crevice on these ancient cliffs. Leslie-Melville's lens has frozen a moment in time when Ethiopia was still largely unexplored by Westerners. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, offering us glimpses into distant lands that were once shrouded in mystery. Let this mesmerizing print transport you to another era – where nature reigns supreme, inviting you to lose yourself amidst its untamed beauty.
