This print showcases a historical map of European possessions in Africa during the 1880s. Reproduced from an original map featured in The Graphic's December 20th, 1884 edition, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the era of colonialism and territorial expansion. The map vividly illustrates the extensive reach of European powers across the African continent during this period. It depicts various colonies, protectorates, and dependencies established by nations such as Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, and Italy. These territories are colorfully highlighted on the map to distinguish them from one another. The image serves as a powerful reminder of Europe's dominance over Africa at that time. It raises questions about power dynamics between white colonizers and indigenous black populations who were often subjected to exploitation under colonial rule. As an archival treasure preserved by Ken Welsh for Design Pics' collection, this print allows us to delve into history through cartography. It provides valuable insights into geographical boundaries and political landscapes prevalent in the late 19th century. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply intrigued by old maps and their stories, this image is sure to transport you back in time while igniting curiosity about Africa's complex past.
