EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 10th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica offers a glimpse into the colonial landscape of Africa in the early 1900s. The detailed map showcases the vast expanse of southern colonial Africa, with an inset highlighting the island of Madagascar.
As we study this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The intricate cartography and western script on display provide valuable insight into the geographical borders and coastlines that defined this region during this period.
The absence of people in this image allows us to focus solely on the physical geography and navigational details presented before us. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of mapping technology and exploration since this map was created over a century ago.
This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into our past, offering a unique perspective on history and culture. It invites us to reflect on the impact that colonialism had on Africa and Madagascar, while also celebrating the beauty and complexity of these regions.
In owning this print, one can hold onto a piece of history - a tangible connection to an era marked by both progress and challenges.
