EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical map titled "Map Showing the German Cameroon Colony, 1916". Created by an unknown artist, this map depicts the African colony of German Cameroon during its existence from 1884 to 1916. The German Empire ruled over this territory until their defeat in World War I, which led to the division of the region between Great Britain and France through the Treaty of Versailles. The photograph is sourced from "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume IV. The Summer Campaign - 1915" edited by J. A. Hammerton and published by The Amalgamated Press Limited in London in 1916. It captures a significant moment in history when colonial powers were vying for control over African territories. The map represents not only a geographical depiction but also symbolizes concepts such as colonialism, strategy, and territorial disputes. It highlights how Africa was divided among European powers during this period. Although we do not know who specifically created this map, it serves as a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on Germany's presence in Africa during the early 20th century. This image offers viewers an opportunity to explore the impact of World War I on global politics and colonization efforts at that time.
