An Abyssinian Horseman - A Journey Through Soudan and Western Abyssinia, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the 1870s and the Horn of Africa. The image, created by an unknown photographer, is taken from Henry Walter Bates' book "Illustrated Travels" published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London. Bates, an English explorer, recounts his experiences in his book, providing a vivid description of the people and cultures he encountered during his journey through Sudan and Western Abyssinia (now Ethiopia). In this photograph, we see an Abyssinian horseman, proudly riding on his horse, adorned with a shield and holding a blowpipe, ready for warfare. The horseman's intense gaze and the determined set of his jaw convey a sense of strength and resilience. His tribal markings and the intricate design of his shield suggest that he belongs to one of the many tribes that inhabited the region during that time. The horse, too, appears strong and well-trained, its ears pricked forward, ready for action. The photograph provides a glimpse into the military culture of the Abyssinians during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the rich history and diverse people of Africa, and the explorers who documented their experiences for future generations. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of travel and adventure, and the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time. William Francis Prideaux, another Englishman, also wrote about his experiences in Abyssinia during the same period. His account, published in the same series as Bates' book, adds depth and context to the photograph, providing insights into the social, political, and cultural context of the region during that time. Together, the words and images offer a fascinating window into the past, inviting us to explore the history and people of Africa in a new light.
