EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the annals of history depicts Negus Menelik II, the powerful and visionary leader of Abyssinia (now Ethiopia), triumphantly standing amidst the aftermath of the Battle of Adowa in 1896. The Italian army, under the command of General Oreste Baratieri, had invaded Abyssinia with the intention of conquering the proud and independent African nation. However, Menelik's strategic planning and the bravery of his soldiers led to a decisive Abyssinian victory on March 1, 1896. In this illustration, Menelik is shown wearing the traditional Ethiopian royal attire, complete with a crown adorned with precious stones and a long, flowing robe. He raises his right hand in a gesture of triumph, while the defeated Italian soldiers can be seen in the background, surrendering and laying down their weapons. The battlefield is strewn with the remnants of war, including fallen horses and discarded weaponry. The Battle of Adowa is a significant moment in African history, as it marked the last successful resistance of an African nation against European colonial expansion. Menelik's victory cemented Abyssinia's status as an independent state and prevented the spread of colonialism into the Horn of Africa. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the Abyssinian people and their leader, Negus Menelik II.
