Ethiopia / Eritrea

This region covers Ethiopia and Eritrea, which (along with Italian Somaliland) between 1936 and 1941 was known as Africa Orientale Italiana.  Rich in European popular culture, ephemera, photographs and postcards; subject areas include the three different invasions of the region between 1867 and 1935, colonial propaganda, Christian and Muslim influence, various types and places, etc.  There is heavy emphasis on the fascist period, with some rare ephemera that relates to rarely known events.
