EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "From Djibouti to Addis-Abeba: The Northeastern Africa," is an intriguing and historically significant map print from the early 20th century. The map, created in 1914, is a fascinating representation of the geographical knowledge of the time, with a focus on the northeastern region of Africa, encompassing present-day Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Somalia. The map's creator remains unknown, but it was published in the renowned French geographical journal "Grande Geographie Illustree," adding to its credibility and historical value. The map's vibrant colors and detailed cartography reflect the meticulous work of the mapmaker, showcasing the diverse topography, political boundaries, and major cities of the region. At the turn of the 20th century, Europe's colonial powers were actively expanding their influence in Africa, and this map reflects the geopolitical landscape of the time. The French presence is evident, with French Somaliland and French Equatorial Africa labeled on the map. The map also highlights the Abyssinian Empire, which was under the rule of Emperor Haile Selassie I, and the Italian colony of Eritrea. The map serves as a testament to the advancements in mapmaking during the 1900s and the European exploration and colonization of Africa. It offers a glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the time and the political realities of the region, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical maps or African studies. Despite its age, the map's intricate details and vivid colors continue to captivate and inform, making it a valuable historical artifact.
