The image, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, showcases the dam from a bird's eye view, with the Nile River flowing gently below. Assuan Dam, located in Aswan, Egypt, was built to control the annual flooding of the Nile River and to provide irrigation and hydroelectric power to the arid regions of Egypt and Sudan. The dam was a significant achievement for the time, marking a turning point in the history of water management in the Nile Valley. The print provides an insight into the geography and cartography of the region during the 1910s. The image is a testament to the advancements in mapmaking and the ability to accurately represent geographical features on paper.

The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the Nile Valley and the engineering marvel that is the Assuan Dam. The print also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Egypt and its people. The creator of the print remains unknown, but their work continues to provide valuable insights into the geography and history of the region. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of historical maps, geographical features, or African studies.
