EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Tunis et Bizerte. La basse Medjerda; Afrique du Nord" (Tunis and Bizerte. The Lower Medjerda; North Africa), dates back to the 1910s. The image is from the renowned "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" publication of 1914. The print showcases the coastal cities of Tunis and Bizerte, located at the mouth of the Medjerda River in modern-day Tunisia. During this era, France held significant colonial influence over Tunisia, as evidenced by the French label on the bottom right corner of the print. The image reveals the strategic importance of these ports, situated along the Mediterranean Sea, for trade and communication between Europe and its North African colonies. The print offers a glimpse into the geographical features of the region, including the meandering Medjerda River and the vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea. The intricate detail in the engraving highlights the cartographic skills of the mapmakers during this period. The image also serves as a testament to the colonial era, a time when European powers expanded their empires and asserted control over various parts of the African continent. The print's historical significance lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a unique perspective on the geography and colonial history of North Africa during the early 20th century. This print, created by an unknown artist, remains an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of Africa, colonialism, cartography, or geography. Its intricate detail and historical significance make it a valuable piece for both educational and decorative purposes.
