English: The hairstyles adopted by the women of Gondar and Againe, as depicted in: Théophile Lefèbvre. Voyage en Abyssinie exécuté pendant les années 1839, 1840, 1841, 1842, 1843. Paris : Arthur Bertrand, [1845-51] [FCDO Historical Collection FOL. DT377 LEF].
During the years 1839-43, a French scientific expedition under the leadership of Théophile Lefèbvre (1811-60), a young naval officer, explored Ethiopia in detail. The expedition’s findings were embodied in eight volumes of text and three volumes of plates, detailing Ethiopia’s history, internal politics, administration, flora, fauna and the inhabitants’ religion, customs and manners, as well as their physiognomy. The plate on display shows the facial features and distinct female hair-styles adopted in different provinces of Ethiopia.
