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.
