EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "African Conventions" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the complex colonial treaties and rivalries that shaped Africa's history. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this print showcases the scramble for Africa during a time of intense imperialism. The image depicts a detailed map of Central Africa, highlighting the Congo region. It serves as a visual representation of various conventions and treaties signed between European powers such as Britain, Italy, Belgium, and France. These agreements aimed to establish their dominance over African territories and exploit their resources. The engraving provides insight into the geopolitical dynamics of East Africa at that time. It features important landmarks like Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and emphasizes the rivalry between Anglo-Italian interests in East Africa alongside British involvement in Congo Free State affairs. With its intricate details and historical significance, this lithograph sheds light on Europe's colonization efforts in Africa during the late 19th century. The image serves as a reminder of how these conventions impacted African nations' destinies while also reflecting broader themes such as power struggles, colonialism, and territorial expansion. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to be an invaluable resource for historians studying European-African relations during this transformative period in history.
