EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century showcases an Italian Colonial Native Cavalry soldier adorned with hawk feathers, representing a unique blend of cultures and traditions. Standing tall with undeniable pride, this young man embodies the spirit of military excellence and colonialism prevalent during that era. Dressed in a striking khaki uniform, specifically designed for Eritrean cavalry squadrons known as Penne di Falco, he commands attention with his full-length military attire. The illustration and painting technique used to capture this moment in history adds depth and richness to the image. With riding boots firmly planted on the ground, he holds a rifle effortlessly by his side while gazing into the distance. This solitary figure represents not only the strength of one individual but also symbolizes an entire army dedicated to serving their country. The banner fluttering behind him further emphasizes his role as part of a larger force fighting under Italy's flag. As we admire this artful portrayal, it is impossible not to reflect upon the historical significance of colonialism and its impact on both native populations and European powers alike. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past, inviting us to explore complex narratives surrounding military conquests and cultural assimilation. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst changing times while honoring those who played pivotal roles in shaping our world today.
