EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print captures the regal beauty of Taitou, the Empress of Abyssinia and Ethiopia. Taken on March 29th, 1896, by renowned photographer Henri Meyer, this image showcases Taitou's grace and elegance. Taitou Betul, born in 1851 and passing away in 1918, was the beloved wife of Menelik II, the Emperor of Ethiopia. As a prominent figure during a time when Africa was facing colonization pressures from European powers, Taitou played an essential role in protecting her nation's sovereignty. In this photograph, Taitou exudes confidence as she gazes directly at the camera. Her striking features are highlighted by vibrant colors that bring life to her traditional Ethiopian attire. The intricate details showcase not only her status as royalty but also celebrate her African heritage. As one person dominates the frame with poise and dignity befitting a queen, it is impossible not to be captivated by Taitou's presence. This portrait serves as a testament to her strength and resilience amidst challenging times for Ethiopia. Henri Meyer's skillful composition ensures that every detail is captured flawlessly – from the delicate patterns adorning Taitou's clothing to the subtle nuances in her expression. Through his lens, he immortalizes an extraordinary woman who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on history. This print stands as both a tribute to Taitou's legacy and a reminder of Africa's rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers into a world where power meets beauty—a world where one woman can shape nations through determination and grace.
