EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Great Seal of Abyssinia, an exquisite engraving created by the European School in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this historical artifact holds immense significance. The seal's legend is inscribed in both Ethiopian and Arabic languages, reading "Negusa negest Juhannas sa ethiope" and "Jubanne melik muluk el habasa" respectively.
