Image credits

Every photograph, painting and plate on this site that somebody else made, with the licence it is published under and a way back to the record it came from.

Writing about an image

If you hold rights in a picture on this site, or a credit here is wrong, or a picture should not be published at all, write to the publication and say which image it is and the page you found it on. The publication has no separate contact address; the surest route is a note through Habesha History on Substack , and the Discord and the other channels are on the socials page. A picture that should not be here will be taken down.

The games

A photograph of the carved hall at Däbrä Dammo, a manuscript folio of players, an illustration of the board, a newspaper lithograph of the empress, and the one surviving photograph of the game being played. Each of them is served from this site's own domain rather than the holder's, so the obligations that come with them are this site's to meet.

  • Board games in a painted Ethiopian manuscript folio

    British Library Ethiopian collections

    Changed before publishing Lanczos-3 resampling to a 3840px master (3.6x the 1080px source); gentle unsharp (sigma 1.1) on the master only; no repainting, recolouring, cropping or content edits of any kind

    Immutable owner-supplied copy. A painted manuscript folio of board-game players — senterej at a table on the left, gäbäṭa held out on the right, smaller boards below. Circulated as part of the British Library's Ethiopian manuscript collections; the exact shelfmark is not recorded in the copy the owner supplied, so the credit names the collection and claims no more.

    Reqiq (reqiq.co)

    Immutable owner-supplied copy. Illustration of two players at a senterej board, titled ETHIOPIAN CHESS / ስንጠረዥ / SENŢEREŽ, published by Reqiq (reqiq.co). The title is part of the artwork and is carried by the card's alt text.

  • Taytu Betul

    Le Petit Journal - H. Meyer

    crop of a public-domain 1896 colour newspaper lithograph — not a photograph

    Changed before publishing 1:1 crop at (786, 1430), 2048x2048px of the original; Lanczos-3 down-sampling to each published width; light unsharp (sigma 0.7) on the down-sampled widths only; no repainting, recolouring, retouching or content edits of any kind

    Published in France on 29 March 1896 and therefore long out of copyright both there and in the United States, where anything published before 1930 is public domain. Wikimedia Commons records the file as public domain.

Works the site's own artwork was drawn from

The ruler portraits, the court halls and the turned pieces were drawn for this site and are its own work. Where a drawing was modelled on a catalogued object or a printed plate rather than imagined, the thing it was modelled on is named here.

The collection

Objects and manuscript pages come from the open-access catalogues of the museums and libraries that hold them, and are shown from those institutions' own servers. Every record links back to the holder's page, and every picture carries its credit where it appears. Here they are counted by licence, with the holders and photographers named.

The Ethiopian manuscripts published in digitised format by the British Library are to the best of our knowledge not in copyright under Ethiopian law. However the British Library recognises broader interests in the cultural heritage which the Ethiopian manuscripts represent. The manuscripts included are often of a religious nature, and the Library has taken considerable care not to distort or alter the underlying material. We ask users also to show appropriate respect in reusing the digital images of the Ethiopian manuscripts, which should not be altered or reused in ways that might be…

The journeys

The six wide photographs a reader travels through on the front page, and the halls behind two of the Senterej boards. Unlike the atlas galleries these are copied onto this site's own servers and re-encoded, which is why the crop and the encoding are stated with each one.

Portraits, court halls and piece carvings drawn for this site are its own work; where they were modelled on a catalogued object or a printed plate, that source is listed under the games above.
