EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Afrique Anglaise, Sud-Ouest Africain; Afrique Australe" from the 1914 edition of "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," provides a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge and colonial ambitions of Europe during the early 20th century. The map, created by an unknown cartographer, meticulously delineates the African continent as it was then understood, with a focus on the British and French colonial holdings in Africa. The map's rich colors and intricate detail reflect the height of mapmaking artistry during this period. The red and blue hues denote the territories under British and French control, respectively, while the beige and brown tones represent the unexplored or unclaimed regions. The map also includes annotations in French and German, reflecting the multilingual nature of European colonialism. The map's title translates to "English Africa, South-West Africa; Southern Africa," indicating the primary focus on the territories that would later become known as South Africa and Namibia. The map's geological features are also depicted, including mountains, rivers, and bodies of water, providing a comprehensive view of the physical landscape of the continent. This map serves as a powerful reminder of the colonial era and the profound impact it had on the world. It is a testament to the human desire to explore, chart, and claim new territories, and to the complex web of political and cultural relationships that emerged as a result. The map's unknown creator remains a mystery, but their work continues to shed light on a pivotal moment in history.
