"The Pass of Atbara in Abyssinia, engraved by Daniel Havell (1785–1826) in 1809, is a significant work of art that captures the essence of the Ethiopian landscape during the early 19th century. This engraving, based on the observations and sketches of the British artist and diplomat Henry Salt (1780–1827), offers a detailed and picturesque view of the Atbara River region in Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia). Salt, who embarked on several expeditions to Ethiopia and the surrounding regions, was renowned for his detailed sketches and paintings that depicted the landscapes, peoples, and cultures he encountered. His works, including 'The Pass of Atbara in Abyssinia,' were instrumental in introducing the British public to the visual and cultural richness of the African continent.

Daniel Havell, a distinguished engraver of the period, collaborated with Salt to bring his sketches to a wider audience through the medium of engraving. Havell's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in the intricate depiction of the Atbara's rugged terrain, vegetation, and the river itself, which plays a crucial role in the region's ecosystem. The collaboration between Salt and Havell not only resulted in a visually captivating work but also contributed significantly to the field of geographical and ethnographical knowledge during a time when such information was highly sought after in Europe.

'The Pass of Atbara in Abyssinia' stands as a testament to the rich artistic and exploratory endeavors of the early 19th century, offering insights into the natural beauty and complexity of the Ethiopian landscape. It remains an important piece within the broader context of Orientalist art, reflecting the fascination and appreciation for landscapes and cultures beyond Europe's borders. This engraving, along with other works produced by Salt and engraved by Havell, continues to be celebrated for its historical value and artistic merit, providing a window into the past and the early interactions between British explorers and the diverse cultures of Africa."
