EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Negus of Ethiopia, Menelik II, during the historic Battle of Adoua in 1898. The artwork, created by F Meaulle and featured in Le Petit Journal on August 28th, 1898, beautifully captures the essence of this momentous event. In this vibrant illustration from the late 19th century, we witness Emperor Menelik II leading his Ethiopian forces against the Italians in a fierce battle. Mounted on a majestic horse and adorned with a regal crown and traditional dress, he exudes power and authority as he rides at the forefront of his procession. The artist's attention to detail is evident through their meticulous depiction of both human and animal figures. The horses' harnesses gleam with color while their riders display unwavering determination amidst the chaos of war. This portrayal not only highlights Menelik II's leadership but also pays homage to Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, it becomes clear that it represents more than just a battle scene; it symbolizes resilience and national pride for Ethiopia. Through its art media engraving technique employed by Paul Buffet under Fortune Louis Meaulle's guidance for Le Petit Journal frontpage publication purposes only (not commercial use), this image has become an enduring testament to one man's courage and his country's fight for independence.
