The War in Abyssinia: the British camp at Attala, 1868. Engraving of '...a sketch by Major Leveson, of the British camp at Attala, near Lake Ashangi, where the army halted in the middle of March...The scarped rock [Imba Alaje], about 125 ft. high, rising above the range of mountains, shown in our view of the camp in the valley of Attala, is the stronghold of the Aladjie chieftain. He was not at all pleased with the British engineers for making a road from Tigre to his fastness, since it makes the way easier for our friend Prince Kassa, against whom he has rebelled, to come and attack him'. Imba Alaje (or Amba Alagi) is a steep-sided, flat-topped mountain in northern Ethiopia. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
