EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white print depicting a map of Cameroon and Fernando Po, located on the west coast of Central Africa. The map is taken from the 1914 edition of "Grande Geographie Illustree," a renowned geographical publication of the time. The map illustrates the intricate details of the region, with the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Cameroon to the north, and Equatorial Guinea, specifically Fernando Po, to the south. The map is adorned with various geographical features, including rivers, mountains, and islands. The equator is clearly marked, highlighting the region's proximity to the equatorial line. At the time, Cameroon was under German colonial rule, while Fernando Po was a Spanish colony. The map reflects the colonial division of Africa, with distinct territories allocated to different European powers. The mapmaking process during the colonial era was a significant aspect of the European conquest and domination of Africa. The print offers a glimpse into the cartographic representation of Africa during the early 20th century. The map's intricacy and detail demonstrate the advanced techniques used in mapmaking during this period. The black and white image adds to the historical authenticity of the print, transporting us back to a time when the world was being explored and mapped in unprecedented detail. The "Cameroun et Fernando Po; L'Ouest Africain, 1914" print is an essential historical artifact, providing valuable insights into the geography and colonial history of Central Africa during the 1910s. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a fascinating addition to any collection of maps or African studies.
