EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white geological map, titled "Carte geologique; Afrique du Nord," was published in the renowned French geographical magazine "Grande Geographie Illustree" in 1914. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its intriguing allure. The map provides a detailed representation of the geological features of North Africa during the early 20th century. The map encompasses the North African region, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Mediterranean Sea in the north, and extending eastward to cover parts of present-day Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Morocco. The Sahara Desert, a vast expanse of arid land, dominates the southern part of the map. The map is adorned with various geological symbols, indicating different rock formations and mineral deposits. Notable geographical features, such as the Atlas Mountains, are clearly marked, providing valuable information for both scientific research and exploration. The coastline is meticulously detailed, highlighting the bays, peninsulas, and capes that characterize the North African coast. The map's creation during the 1910s, a time when European powers were actively expanding their influence in Africa, underscores the importance of geographical knowledge in shaping global politics. France, in particular, held significant territorial claims in North Africa, making this map a testament to the French interest and involvement in the region. Despite its age, the "Carte geologique; Afrique du Nord" remains a fascinating piece of cartographic history, showcasing the meticulous detail and scientific accuracy that characterized mapmaking during the early 20th century. Its intricate engravings and valuable geological information continue to captivate scholars, historians, and enthusiasts of cartography and geology alike.
