EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, newly-crowned Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia (formerly Ras Tafari) is seen carrying the Orb and Sceptre with pride and dignity, as he is accompanied by his youngest son during the grand ceremonial procession through the streets of Addis Ababa in 1930. The newly-crowned monarch is dressed in full regalia, including a golden canopy, a resplendent uniform adorned with insignia and jewels, and a magnificent headdress. The atmosphere is one of pomp and grandeur, as the Ethiopian people celebrate the coronation of their new emperor, who would go on to lead his country through a period of modernization and independence in the face of colonial pressures. The image captures the opulence and majesty of the Ethiopian monarchy in the 1930s, a time when the African continent was undergoing significant political and social changes. Emperor Haile Selassie I remains an iconic figure in Ethiopian history, revered by many as a symbol of national pride and resilience. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of Ethiopia and its people.
