EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Map of Africa showing Treaty Boundaries, 1891" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The vibrant colours and intricate details of this colour lithograph bring the continent's political landscape to life. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this piece is now housed in the prestigious British Museum in London. The map showcases the colonial era, with its focus on geography, cartography, and empire-building. It highlights various countries and their boundaries as determined by treaties during that time period. Surveying techniques were employed to accurately depict frontier lines and borders across Africa. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the vastness of Africa - stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean - with Madagascar standing out prominently off its eastern coast. The equator runs through several African nations, adding another layer of geographical significance. This historical map serves as a visual representation of how power dynamics played out during European colonization efforts in Africa. It offers valuable insights into both past political realities and contemporary discussions surrounding decolonization movements. Through this lens, "Map of Africa showing Treaty Boundaries" invites viewers to reflect on our shared global history while also acknowledging ongoing conversations about identity, sovereignty, and territorial disputes within African nations today.
