La Plaine d'Oudjda - Afrique du Nord, 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white print showcasing the Plaine d'Oudjda, a vast expanse of land located in North Africa, specifically in what is now Algeria. The image, created in the early 1910s, is an engraving from the renowned French publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree." During this period, Europe was deeply entrenched in the colonial era, and the African continent was a significant focus of exploration and expansion. This map reflects the European perspective of the time, with clear delineations of territorial boundaries between the French, Spanish, and Moroccan colonies. The Plaine d'Oudjda, or Oudjda Plain, is depicted as a vast, arid landscape, with intricate cartographic details highlighting the various settlements, rivers, and mountain ranges within its borders. The print's title, "Afrique du Nord," translates to "North Africa," emphasizing the European perspective of the region as a distinct entity. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the colonial era and the ways in which European powers sought to understand, claim, and control the lands and peoples of Africa. The intricate details of the map, created by an unknown cartographer, reveal the meticulous efforts made to document and claim these territories. Today, the Plaine d'Oudjda remains an essential part of Algerian history and culture, with the city of Oudjda serving as a major commercial and agricultural hub. The print, a fascinating glimpse into the past, offers a unique perspective on the geography and history of this region during a pivotal moment in world history.
