EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating geographical map print from the early 20th century, specifically from the year 1914. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it was published in the renowned French geographical journal "Grande Geographie Illustree." This stunning print showcases the African continent with a focus on the eastern part, highlighting the prominent geographical features of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, is depicted in all its glory, with its three distinct volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira, standing proud against the backdrop of the vast African landscape. Mount Meru, the fifth highest mountain in Africa, is also clearly visible, nestled in the lush greenery of the surrounding region. The map is a testament to the advancements in cartography during the early 1900s, with intricate detailing and accurate representation of the geographical features. The use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the print, making it an aesthetically pleasing piece of art as well as an informative geographical representation. The mapmaking process during this era was a significant undertaking, requiring extensive exploration, survey, and mapping techniques. The French, with their colonial influence in Africa, were at the forefront of mapmaking in the continent, and publications like "Grande Geographie Illustree" played a crucial role in disseminating this knowledge to the wider public. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the exploration and mapping of Africa during the 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of geographical exploration and the role it plays in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
