EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, dating back to 1885, offers a glimpse into the geopolitical landscape of Southern Africa during the 1880s. The map meticulously delineates the territories of various European colonies and protectorates, including the prominent Natal and Cape Colony. At the time, European powers were aggressively expanding their territories in Africa, and this map reflects the growing influence of the British Empire in the region. The Cape Colony, established in 1652, is depicted in its expanded form, having annexed large swaths of land to the north and east. Natal, a British crown colony since 1845, is shown in the eastern part of the map, while the Bechuanaland Protectorate, later known as Botswana, is represented as a British territory to the north of the Cape Colony. The Bechuana people, also known as the Tswana, are the primary inhabitants of this region. The map also highlights other European territories, such as German South-West Africa (now Namibia) and Portuguese territories along the coast. The territorial claims and borders were not yet finalized, and the map serves as a testament to the dynamic and complex nature of colonialism in Southern Africa during the late 19th century. This map print is an essential historical document, providing valuable insights into the geopolitical landscape of Southern Africa during a pivotal period in its history. It offers a glimpse into the European powers' aggressive expansion and the impact of colonialism on the indigenous populations, shaping the political and demographic landscape of the region for generations to come.
