The map, created in 1914, was originally published in the renowned German geography magazine "Grande Geographie Illustree."

The mapmaking process during the colonial era was instrumental in defining and claiming territories, and this print is a tangible reminder of that period. The Tangier Province, located in modern-day Morocco, has a unique cultural heritage, blending African, European, and Middle Eastern influences. This photographic print, with its intricate map and historical significance, offers a captivating glimpse into the colonial history of North Africa and the broader context of global exploration and expansion during the 1910s.
