Grande Kabylie et Djurdjura; Afrique du Nord, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing black and white print showcasing a portion of North Africa during the early 20th century. The image, created by an unknown cartographer, was originally published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914. The print depicts a section of Algeria, specifically the Kabylie region and the Djurdjura mountain range. The Kabylie region, located in the northeastern part of Algeria, is bordered by the city of Bordj Bou Arréridj. The Djurdjura mountain range, a part of the Atlas Mountains, is situated in the northwest of Kabylie and stretches along the Mediterranean coast. The print's engraving technique results in a detailed and precise representation of the geographical features in the region. The Mediterranean Sea is visible on the right side of the print, with the coastline of Algeria clearly marked. The mountain range is depicted with a sense of grandeur, its peaks reaching towards the sky. This print offers a glimpse into the cartography of the early 1900s and the European exploration and mapping of North Africa. The French influence is evident in the labeling of the region as "Afrique du Nord," reflecting the French colonial rule during that time. The print serves as a historical artifact, providing valuable information about the geography of the region during a significant period in African history. Its black and white aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of historical maps or African studies. Despite the unknown creator, this print remains an essential piece of cartographic history, offering insights into the exploration and mapping of North Africa during the early 20th century. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a must-have for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Africa and cartography.
