EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to September 26,1933, when Queen Abyssinia and Empress Menen Asfaw of Ethiopia graced the streets of Jerusalem with their presence. The image captures a momentous occasion as Empress Menen confidently takes control of the automobile's steering wheel while driving through the bustling city. The significance of this scene lies not only in its historical context but also in the symbolism it represents. As wife to Emperor Haile Selassie, Empress Menen was known for her strong character and unwavering support for her husband's reign. Her role as a leader is beautifully depicted here as she fearlessly navigates through unfamiliar territory. The crowds that line the streets bear witness to this extraordinary sight, eagerly watching as royalty passes by. Their faces reflect awe and admiration for these esteemed figures who have traveled so far from their homeland to visit Jerusalem. In an era marked by political tensions and global unrest, this photograph serves as a reminder of unity between nations. It showcases how even in foreign lands, leaders can inspire hope and captivate hearts with their presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured almost nine decades ago, we are transported back in time to witness a historic moment that continues to resonate today.
