This image was featured on the front cover of National Geographic magazine in April 1965 (Ethiopian Adventure). Upon the arrival of the photographer, James Blair, Mr. Hapte-Selassie organized flights to different parts of Ethiopia, the first stop being in Northern Ethiopia where Blair took the photo of the Beni-Amer boy (NFT #1 of this collection). The Turbaned holy man is from the Amhara region, Ethiopia's central highlands. Among the many ethnic groups in Ethiopia, the Amhara are the most populous, representing about one-fourth of the population. Their language, Amharic, is the official language of Ethiopia. The Amhara region has the most world heritage sites. It is rich in natural and geographic wonders. The region contains Ethiopia's largest inland body of water Lake Tana, which is the source of the Blue Nile River. The holy man holds in his hand a Copic cross respectfully wrapped in cloth.
The iconic Ethiopian poster collection “13 Months of Sunshine” conceived and designed by H.E. Mr. Hapte-Selassie Tafesse, aka “The Father of Tourism”.
In 1961 Ethiopia initiated programs to promote tourism. His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile-Selassie assigned the creation of such programs to the young appointee Hapte-Selassie, who in turn created the Ethiopian Tourism Organization. H.E. Mr. Hapte-Selassie served as the first Minister of Tourism in the Ethiopian government and was a humble, passionate, and hands-on leader of the Organization. It was Mr. Hapte-Selassie himself, who coined the famous "13 Months of Sunshine" slogan that until recently was used for the country's tourism promotion. The 13 months refers to the fact that the Ethiopian year, consisting of 365 days, is broken down into thirteen months: twelve months have 30 days each and the thirteenth month has 5 or 6 days in a leap year. Many of the photographs used for these posters were personally taken by Hapte-Selassie.
