| Description |
English: Plate 19, The Pass of Atbara in Abyssinia.
Atbara is a rocky mountainous ridge, about twenty miles from Mucculla, over which it is necessary to pass in the way to Adowa ; it is in many parts so steep as to be dangerous, and was considered by Mr. Salt, as being nearly as bad as Taranta. The Abyssinians are an active race, and seem to despise the difficulties which the nature of their country throws in the way of a traveller. Their roads are never mended, and the loose stone are permitted to lie in the passes, till a mule can hardly pick his way with safety among them”. Plate 19 from, Henry Salt's 'Twenty Four Views in St. Helena, the Cape, India, Ceylon, the Red Sea, Abyssinia and Egypt'. Originally published/produced in 1809. |
