EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Afrique Sud-Orientale; Afrique Australe" (Southern East Africa; Southern Africa), dates back to 1914, as indicated by the publication year in the lower right corner. The map was originally featured in the renowned French geographical publication "Grande Geographie Illustree," showcasing the meticulous detail and vibrant color palette that was characteristic of the series. The map provides an intriguing glimpse into the geographical knowledge and colonial ambitions of the early 20th century. It covers a vast area, stretching from the northernmost tip of Madagascar to the southernmost tip of South Africa. The map is divided into various territories, reflecting the political landscape of the time, with British and French colonies clearly demarcated. The map's cartographical precision is evident in the intricate depiction of borders, topographical features, and bodies of water. The use of color adds an additional layer of information, with different regions distinguished by hues representing various geological formations. The map serves as a poignant reminder of the colonial era, a time when European powers, including France and Britain, sought to expand their empires and assert their influence over African territories. The map's creation and publication during this period underscore the importance of geographical knowledge in shaping global power dynamics and the dissemination of colonial ideologies. Today, this map print stands as a historical artifact, offering valuable insights into the geographical and political landscape of Africa during a pivotal period in world history.
