EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of a banquet at the court of King Menelik II, one of Ethiopia's most influential rulers. The image, captured by an unknown artist in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the opulence and cultural richness that characterized this historical period. As we observe the scene, we are immediately struck by the regal presence of King Menelik II himself. Dressed in lavish robes adorned with intricate patterns and surrounded by his courtiers, he exudes power and authority. The king's commanding presence sets the tone for this extravagant feast. The banquet table is laid out with an abundance of delicacies, showcasing not only the culinary prowess but also the wealth and prosperity of this African kingdom. Guests from various walks of life gather around it, engaging in lively conversations while indulging their palates. Every detail within this engraving speaks volumes about Ethiopian history and culture during that era. From traditional attire to ornate decorations adorning both people and surroundings, it is evident that no expense was spared to create a truly majestic ambiance.
