This revised and expanded version of a much-loved and highly informative book documents Ethiopia during the period from 1681 to 1900 through the eyes of travellers to the country. From almost photographic representations to fantastic interpretations, over 300 engravings present a treasure of information on how Ethiopia was viewed during the time. Ethiopia Engraved gives an interesting insight into an ancient kingdom where fact and myth were often merged in the perception of the outsider. This new version includes a revised and updated introduction, a new preface and additional plates. The introduction itself gives a window into the history of Ethiopia, while the extensive catalogue included at the end offers the interested reader and researcher a key to additional resources.
