The people, terrain, buildings and rulers of Ethiopia - such as Emperor Melenik, Lej Iyasu and Emperor Haile Selassie - make it a highly photogenic country, as this lavishly illustrated book reveals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated in lofty, often inaccessible mountains between the Red Sea and the Blue Nile, and extending far into the Horn of Africa, it is a complex and mysterious country which as always exercised an extraordinary fascination for the outside world. The book begins with an introduction which gives a brief history of Ethiopia in this period, and describes the role of photography at this time. The richly captured images of \u003cem\u003eEthiopia Photographed\u003c\/em\u003e bear witness to many personalities and places not previously seen and, in many cases, now lost for all time but for the photogenic memories recorded here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kegan Paul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54241673183576,"sku":"9780710305046","price":291.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780710305046.jpg?v=1768644042","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ethiopia-photographed-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
