EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and historic map print depicting the rainfall patterns in West Africa during the early 20th century. The creator of this map remains unknown, but it was published in the French magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The map provides a detailed representation of the climate and geographical features of West Africa, with a focus on rainfall distribution. The Central African region, including the Congo Basin, is prominently featured, displaying the heavy rainfall patterns in the equatorial regions contrasted with the arid Sahara Desert to the north. The Atlantic Ocean, with its Gulf of Guinea, is also shown, highlighting the coastal areas and the impact of the ocean on the climate. The mapmaking process involved intricate engraving techniques, resulting in a visually stunning representation of the region. The use of color and contrast effectively illustrates the varying rainfall patterns, making it an essential tool for understanding the climatic conditions of West Africa during this period. The map's historical significance lies in its representation of French colonial influence in Africa. France had significant territorial holdings in West Africa, and this map reflects the French interest in understanding the geography and climate of their colonies. The map's publication in a French magazine further underscores this point. Despite the unknown creator, "Carte des pluies; L'Ouest Africain, 1914" is an essential addition to any collection of historical maps or African studies. Its intricate detail and beautiful design make it a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the climate and geography of West Africa during the early 20th century.
