EDITORS COMMENTS
This Relief Map of Berberie, created in 1914, showcases the intricate geographical features of the North African region, specifically focusing on Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. The map is an exquisite example of cartography from the early 20th century, produced during the height of European colonialism. The map reveals the intricate details of the North African coastline, with the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. The Atlas Mountains, a significant mountain range stretching across Morocco and Algeria, are prominently depicted, their peaks rising majestically against the backdrop of the Sahara Desert. The Berber people, the indigenous inhabitants of the region, are represented by the name "Berberie" on the map. The map also highlights the Barbarian Coast, a term used during the Roman era to refer to the North African coast. The map's title, "Relief Map of Berberie," indicates that it is a three-dimensional representation of the terrain, making it an invaluable resource for understanding the topography of the region. The map's creation coincides with the period when France, along with other European powers, was expanding its colonial empire in North Africa. The map's production and dissemination reflect the European fascination with the exploration and mapping of new territories, as well as the desire to assert control over lands and peoples. The Relief Map of Berberie is a testament to the rich history and complex geography of North Africa, a region that has been shaped by the interplay of diverse cultures, empires, and natural features. This print, produced by an unknown cartographer, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of maps as windows into the world.
