EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the departure of two influential figures from 2, Albert Gate on the 8th of July, 1924. The image captures the meeting between "The King" and Ras Tafari, who would later become known as Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. As they step out onto the bustling streets of Europe in the midst of the interwar period, their presence commands attention. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness to this powerful scene. Their expressions reveal determination and purpose as they embark on a journey that will shape their destinies and impact countless lives. This photograph is not just a visual record but also a symbol of unity between cultures. It represents an exchange between African royalty and European society during a time when such encounters were rare. Through this lens, we witness history unfolding before our eyes. Preserved by Central News, this remarkable piece from the twentieth century offers us insight into an era marked by political upheaval and social change. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil, leaders like Haile Selassie sought connections beyond borders for progress and understanding. As we gaze upon this Europeana photography gem from TopFoto's collection, let us reflect on how these two individuals left an indelible mark on history through their actions and vision for a better world.
