Description

Following the very successful Ethiopia Engraved; an illustrated book of engravings by foreign travellers from 1681 to 1900; Ethiopia Photographed covers the period from the inception of photography in the country up to the Italian Fascist invasion in 1936. The people; terrain; buildings and rulers of Ethiopia - such as Emperor Melenik; Lej Iyasu and Emperor Haile Selassie - make it a highly photogenic country; as this lavishly illustrated book reveals.Situated in lofty; often inaccessible mountains between the Red Sea and the Blue Nile; and extending far into the Horn of Africa; it is a complex and mysterious country which as always exercised an extraordinary fascination for the outside world. The book begins with an introduction which gives a brief history of Ethiopia in this period; and describes the role of photography at this time. The richly captured images of Ethiopia Photographed bear witness to many personalities and places not previously seen and; in many cases; now lost for all time but for the photogenic memories recorded here.
