EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the arrival of Abyssinian regent, Ras Tafari, at Dover on 7th July 1924. As the descendant of Balkis, Queen of Sheba, Ras Tafari exudes an air of regality and power as he steps onto European soil. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image from the twentieth century. It serves as a visual reminder of the significant events that unfolded between the wars in the 1920s. This photograph is part of Central News' collection, showcasing their dedication to preserving historical moments through photography. Emperor Haile Selassie, also known as Ras Tafari, was an influential figure in Ethiopian history. His presence here symbolizes Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and its connections with ancient civilizations like that of Queen Sheba. As we gaze upon this ethereal image captured by Europeana Photography, we are transported back to a time when empires clashed and cultures converged. The stoic expression on Emperor Haile Selassie's face hints at both determination and curiosity about his journey into unknown territories. Let this remarkable photograph serve as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by Emperor Haile Selassie - not just for Ethiopia but for all those who continue to be inspired by his leadership and vision even today.
