EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and intricately detailed map print from the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of colonial cartography. The map, created in 1914, is a testament to the exploratory spirit and geographical knowledge of the time, with a focus on the Nord-Est Africain, or Northeastern Africa, primarily encompassing present-day Libya. The map's title, "Cyrenaique," is a reference to Cyrenaica, an ancient region in Libya, known for its rich history and natural resources. The map's vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail showcase the vast expanses of the African continent, with borders delineating various countries and territories under French control. The map's creation can be traced back to the period of intense French colonial expansion in Africa, with Libya becoming a French protectorate in 1912.
