This photograph captures the regal presence of King Menelik II, a prominent figure in Ethiopian history. Taken by an unknown photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the king surrounded by his court, offering a glimpse into the opulence and power that defined his reign. King Menelik II, born in 1844 and passing away in 1913, was known for his visionary leadership and significant contributions to Ethiopia's modernization. His rule marked a period of great expansion and development for the country. In this image, he stands at the center of attention, exuding authority with every gesture. The composition is masterfully captured by Giancarlo Costa, who has skillfully preserved this historical moment for us to appreciate today. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to the scene while highlighting each individual's unique features.
