EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, published in 1897, showcases a historical map of the once German colony East Africa. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the topography and cultural richness of this region between 1885 and 1918. Present-day Burundi, Rwanda, and mainland Tanzania are depicted with precision on this print. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident that it is not merely a geographical representation but also a testament to the era of colonialism. It serves as a reminder of how European powers sought to exert their influence over vast territories across Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The map reveals various landmarks such as Mount Kilimanjaro majestically towering over the landscape while the Indian Ocean's coastline stretches along its eastern border. Zanzibar emerges as an important hub within this colonial network alongside Kenya. Through this lithograph, we gain insight into both African and German cultures intertwining within these lands. It invites us to reflect upon the complexities brought about by colonization - its impact on local populations, traditions, and histories. With its vertical format and meticulous engravings, this print captures our attention with every glance. It stands not only as an artistic creation but also as a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on an era defined by exploration, conquests, struggles for independence, and ultimately shaping nations in East Africa.
