EDITORS COMMENTS
This Relief Map of Maroc, created in 1914, offers a captivating glimpse into the geographical features of Morocco during the early 20th century. The map, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases an intricate representation of Morocco's diverse topography, from the expansive Sahara Desert in the south to the rugged Atlas Mountains in the center, and the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. During this period, European powers, including France, were actively expanding their colonial empires in Africa. Morocco, located in North Africa, was no exception. This map reflects the colonial interest in accurately charting and understanding the territories under their control. The map's title, "Maroc," is a reference to the country's former name, which was commonly used during the colonial era. The map's intricate detail is evident in the engraving technique used to create the relief effect, which highlights the various geographical features. The map's color palette, while muted by today's standards, would have been striking and informative for its time. The map's cartography accurately depicts the locations of major cities, rivers, and mountain ranges, making it an essential tool for exploration and administration. The Relief Map of Maroc provides a fascinating window into the past, revealing the geographical knowledge and colonial interests of the early 20th century. Its intricate detail and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on African history, cartography, or colonialism.
