Framed Print of The War in Abyssinia: village on the pass between Ashangi and Lat, 1868. Creator: Unknown
The War in Abyssinia: village on the pass between Ashangi and Lat, 1868. This village is in the pass leading up to Lat from Offala, and its position, and the walls round it, are an indication of the habits of those people. Underneath the village is the plain upon which the small camp of Offala is situated. On the edge of that plain there are some hills, on which may be seen another village on a conical hill, with its fence on the only accessible side. Beyond all that is the country of the Gallas, a vast plain with trees in forests upon it, and a distant range of hills beyond all. The village in the foreground is composed of round houses, made of wood, and thatched; and on the side seen in the view there is a fence, made of stone where the door leading into the village is placed, and the rest of it is wood and branches of trees, forming a chevaux de frieze; and a few yards on the outside of that is another fence...which a military engineer would call an abattis. We give this village as a specimen of many visible from the same pass, because its position and construction tell better than any amount of words what is the real condition of the country. Cattle-lifting and freebooting are clearly indicated by these defences'. From Illustrated London News, 1868. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
