EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Nine against Sixty (Colour Litho)" by Achille Beltrame depicts a gripping battle scene from history. In this powerful image, nine courageous dubats, stationed in a guard post 50 km from Dolo on the Somali front, fearlessly confront and overcome a group of sixty Abyssinians. As smoke billows around them and gunfire fills the air, these brave soldiers charge forward with their rifles raised high. They stand as a symbol of strength and resilience against overwhelming odds. The fortified camp they left behind is visible in the background, serving as a reminder of the strategic importance of their mission. Beltrame's masterful illustration captures both the intensity and heroism present on that fateful day. Published in Courier Sunday on January 12th, 1936, this artwork immortalizes an extraordinary moment in history when these nine dubats triumphed over their enemies without any reinforcements to aid them. This image not only showcases the skillful artistry of Beltrame but also serves as a testament to Italy's imperial ambitions during that era. It highlights the clashes between colonial powers and indigenous tribes within Africa while shedding light on Ethiopia's struggle for independence. "Nine against Sixty (Colour Litho)" stands as an evocative representation of bravery amidst conflict—a visual narrative that speaks volumes about courage, determination, and the indomitable human spirit.
