EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure - the Map of Africa from 1902. Created by an unknown artist, this map provides a glimpse into the colonial possessions and imperial ambitions of various European powers during that time. The intricate details highlight the vastness and diversity of the African continent. The map prominently displays French West Africa and German South West Africa, indicating their respective territories in vibrant colors. Insets featuring Table Bay in South Africa, as well as British and German East Africa, offer additional geographical insights. Published in The Century Atlas of the World by John Walker & Co. , Ltd. in London, this artifact serves as a valuable resource for understanding the political landscape of early 20th-century Africa. It sheds light on Britain's presence along its coastlines, France's extensive holdings across different regions, and Germany's aspirations to establish colonies within the continent. The Sahara Desert stands out as a prominent geographical feature on this map - an expanse that has shaped African history for centuries. With impeccable attention to detail provided by Edinburgh Geographical Institute, every country is clearly demarcated with precision. As we admire this remarkable print from The Print Collector collection without commercial use intentions, it reminds us of both the legacy of imperialism and colonialism that impacted African nations profoundly but also serves as a testament to our shared human history.
