EDITORS COMMENTS
After a grueling journey of 200 miles through treacherous jungle and rugged mountains, the revered Emperor of Abyssinia, Haile Selassie, finally established his camp. Guarded by his loyal patriots and a handful of officers, this photograph captures the momentous occasion in April 1941. The two-week trek was fraught with challenges as they traversed unforgiving terrain, battling against nature's obstacles at every turn. The resilience and determination displayed by both the Emperor and his entourage were truly remarkable. However, their triumph came at a heavy cost - during this arduous expedition, an astonishing 200 camels lost their lives. In this image from the early forties, we witness Haile Selassie on horseback during the final leg of his epic journey. Mounted on a majestic charger that symbolizes strength and nobility, he exudes regal grace even amidst such challenging circumstances. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of Ethiopia's struggle for independence during World War II. It showcases not only the courage of its leader but also highlights the sacrifices made by those who fought alongside him to preserve their nation's sovereignty. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints for historical significance rather than commercial use purposes, this print transports us back to an era when war ravaged Africa but also witnessed acts of heroism that continue to inspire generations.
