EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print captures a significant moment in history as Monsignor Macaire pays a visit to Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia during the First Italo-Ethiopian War in 1895. The image, created by the French School in the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this historical event to life. In this educational card, we witness an ambassador of peace and diplomacy representing Catholicism visiting the Ethiopian emperor on his majestic throne. Monsignor Macaire's presence symbolizes not only religious ties but also highlights the influence of colonial powers during this era. The photograph provides a glimpse into a time when European nations were vying for control over African territories. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between colonizers and indigenous leaders, with religion often playing a crucial role. As we delve deeper into history through this image, we are reminded of Ethiopia's resilience against Italian aggression during the war. Emperor Menelik II stands tall and proud, embodying strength and determination as he defends his nation against foreign invaders. This print is not just an artistic representation; it encapsulates stories of power struggles, cultural exchanges, and religious encounters that shaped both Africa and Europe at that time. It invites us to reflect on our shared past while acknowledging its complexities.
