EDITORS COMMENTS
Voies de communication de l'Afrique occidentale francaise; L'Ouest Africain, 1894" is a captivating print depicting the communication routes of French West Africa in the early 1910s. The image, created by an unknown artist, was published in "Grande Geographie Illustree" in 1914. The print showcases the extensive network of transportation infrastructure that connected the French colonies in West Africa to each other and to the Atlantic Ocean. The intricate web of railway lines, train tracks, and roads crisscross the map, forming a complex network that facilitated the movement of people, goods, and ideas. The Atlantic Ocean is depicted along the edge of the map, with the coastline of West Africa clearly visible. The railways, which were a key component of French colonialism, are prominently featured, stretching from the coastal regions inland. The print also highlights the importance of rivers as transportation routes, with several major waterways marked on the map. The map is a testament to the ambition and reach of French colonial power in Africa during the early 20th century. It demonstrates the significant investment made by the French in building infrastructure to facilitate the exploitation of resources and the administration of their colonies. The print also underscores the importance of communication and transportation in the colonial project, as it enabled the movement of people, goods, and ideas between the metropole and its colonies. Despite the unknown origin of the print, it provides valuable insights into the geography and history of French West Africa during a pivotal period in its colonial history. The intricate detail and high-quality engraving make it a fascinating addition to any collection of historical maps or Africana.
