EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled 'Afrique Du Nord-Est; Le Nord-Est Africain' (Northeastern Africa, 1914), is an intriguing glimpse into the geographical understanding of the world during the early 20th century. The creator of this map remains unknown, but it was published in the esteemed European geographical journal 'Grande Geographie Bong Illustree' in 1914. The map showcases the northeastern region of Africa, including Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Mizraim, and the coastal areas along the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and the Gulf of Suez. The Sahara Desert, a vast expanse of arid terrain, dominates the central and southern parts of the map. The map's intricate details reveal the cartographer's meticulous approach to mapmaking. The coastlines are delicately rendered, with bays, inlets, and islands accurately depicted. The various borders of countries are clearly defined, and the locations of major cities and geographical features are marked with labels. The map's color palette, predominantly earthy tones, adds to its authenticity and historical charm. The use of brown for the Sahara Desert, green for the Mediterranean Sea, and beige for the sandy regions effectively highlights the diverse landscapes of the African continent. This map offers a fascinating insight into the geographical knowledge of the early 1900s, a time when exploration and discovery were shaping the world's understanding of its own geography. The intricacies of the mapmaking process are beautifully captured in this print, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical cartography.
