EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Sahel d'Alger et la Mitidja; Afrique du Nord, 1914" is a captivating black and white print depicting a map of the Algerian coastline and the Mitidja plain in North Africa. The map, created in 1914, is an intriguing glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the early 20th century. The print, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases the Bay of Algiers and the Mediterranean Sea, with Algiers, the largest city in Algeria and the former capital of French Algeria, prominently displayed. The Sahel, a narrow strip of arid land along the northwestern coast of Africa, is also highlighted, as is the Mitidja plain, an agricultural region located to the east of Algiers. The map is a testament to the advancements in cartography during the 1910s, with precise labeling of geographical features, including towns, rivers, and mountains. The intricate detailing of the coastline, with its bays, capes, and inlets, is particularly noteworthy. The use of engraving techniques results in a crisp, clear image that invites close examination. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Algeria and North Africa during a time when European powers were asserting their influence in the region. The French colonial rule over Algeria, which began in 1830, had reached its zenith by the early 1900s, and the map reflects the extensive knowledge of the territory that the French had gained during their occupation. Today, "Le Sahel d'Alger et la Mitidja; Afrique du Nord, 1914" serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of North Africa, and the ongoing importance of geographical knowledge in understanding the world around us.
