Djibouti, Obok, Tadjoura - Le Nord-Est Africain, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and historically significant photographic print depicting the northeastern region of Africa, with a particular focus on the modern-day country of Djibouti. The image, created in 1914, is taken from the pages of "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," a renowned French geography magazine of the time. The print showcases a detailed and colorful map of the area, with Djibouti prominently marked as a French territory. The map also highlights the strategic location of Djibouti at the Horn of Africa, where the Red Sea meets the Gulf of Aden. The region is bordered by present-day Eritrea to the north, Ethiopia to the west, and Somalia to the east. The photograph offers a glimpse into the geography and political landscape of the early 20th century, a time when European powers were actively competing for influence and control in Africa. France, as depicted in this print, had established a significant presence in Djibouti, which would later become an essential French military and commercial hub. The image's vibrant colors and intricate details provide a visual representation of the diverse topography of the region, from the barren desert landscapes to the lush green areas along the coast. The print's age and historical context add to its value as a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the geopolitical landscape of a pivotal period in African history. The creator of this photographic print remains unknown, but it is a testament to the rich and complex history of the region, which continues to shape the world today. The print serves as a reminder of the past and a window into the fascinating history of Djibouti and the Horn of Africa.
