1863162461Ethiopia: c. 1863. A duplicitous envoy at the heart of the Abyssinian court Two sketches attributed to M. Bardel a French diplomat who befriended Emperor Tewodros II in the build-up to the Abyssinia Expedition. They show an Ethiopian's head in profile as a mock-up for a cannon engraving and Bardel dressed in the emperor's armour. When Charles Cameron British consul to Abyssinia arrived in the country in 1862 he was accompanied by one Bardel a Frenchman who was assumed to be his secretary. A dispute led the the two to part ways after which Bardel entered the service of the emperor. Keen to deepen his European connections Tewodros entrusted Bardel to carry a letter to Napoleon III. However the Frenchman never received an audience and returned with a likely forged reply telling Tewodros that Napoleon did not approve of his erratic and often violent actions. He also informed Tewodros of uncomplimentary journal entries written by the Anglican missionary Henry Aaron Stern. This combined with the emperor's growing mistrust of Europeans and anger at being snubbed by their royal houses led him to order the arrest and torture of Cameron Stern and all other Europeans in 1864. The treatment of the prisoners resulted in the 1868 British expedition to Abyssinia led by Charles Napier. The captions on the first sketch read "Abyssian sic Head & the way they part their hair" and "This was done by Mr. Bardel for King Theodore & was a design of a warrior to be engraved on the celebrated big gun as per instructions in French he was rewarded by a present of 10 cows but the design was never carried out - June 1868". There are reports that Tewodros had the words "Theodore the Scourge of the Peverse" inscribed on his cannon. The captions on the second sketch read "Abyssian sic native prisoner being led to execution" and "Mr Bardel dressed in King Theodore's armour". Two ink sketches with brown watercolour on paper 89 x 65 mm and 133 x 70 mm each mounted on larger sheet 145 x 255 mm and 172 x 253 mm. Contemporary ink and pencil captions paper slip with contemporary manuscript ink caption affixed onto one sheet. Foxing and toning larger sheets chipped along one edge: very good. unknown
