EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in the illustrated supplement of Le Petit Journal on November 2, 1913, depicts a pivotal moment in the delimitation of new Franco-German borders in the Congo region of Central Africa. The Lobaye Valley, shown in the swampy, verdant jungle, serves as the backdrop for this significant diplomatic encounter. Commissioners from both countries stand together, dressed in formal attire, as they meticulously survey the land and discuss the boundaries that would shape the future of this region. The democratic governments of France and Germany were determined to establish clear and definitive borders in the heart of Africa, a continent that was rapidly being colonized by European powers. The Lobaye Valley, located in what is now the Central African Republic, was a particularly contentious area due to its strategic importance and the presence of various indigenous communities. The commissioners, with their maps and surveying equipment, worked diligently to ensure a fair and equitable division of territory. The Askari, local soldiers employed by the European powers, stand guard, a testament to the military might that underpinned the colonial project. The Zaire River, a major waterway, winds its way through the scene, adding to the sense of vastness and complexity of the landscape. This image, with its intricate detail and evocative composition, offers a glimpse into the diplomatic process that shaped the borders of colonial Africa. It is a poignant reminder of the intricate web of power, politics, and culture that intersected in the creation of the modern African state system.
