EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating and intricately detailed geographical map print from 1914, offers a glimpse into the cartographic knowledge of the early 20th century. The map, created by an unknown artist, showcases the Mascarene Islands of Africa, specifically focusing on the territories of Réunion and Mauritius. This stunning piece was originally published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," a renowned geographical magazine of the time. The map's vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail highlight the islands' topographical features, including mountains, bodies of water, and coastal areas. Réunion, a French department located in the southwestern Indian Ocean, is depicted with its volcanic peaks, including Piton de la Fournaise and Piton des Neiges. Mauritius, an independent island nation further east, is shown with its lush green landscapes and clear blue waters. The map also includes various geographical labels, such as capes, bays, and islands, providing valuable information for navigators and explorers of the era. The mapmaking process during the 1900s was a significant undertaking, requiring extensive research, exploration, and collaboration between cartographers, geologists, and other experts. This map serves as a testament to the advancements in geographical knowledge during the early 20th century, as well as the artistic skill and dedication of the unknown cartographer who brought this intricate representation of Réunion and Mauritius to life. The map's historical significance and visual appeal make it an essential addition to any collection focused on African geography, cartography, or the history of exploration.
