Antique Decorative Coloured Map Egypt, Nubia, Abyssinia and more, 1882
Located in Langweer, NL
This image contains two maps, with the left one being labeled "Egypt" and the right one "Nubia, Abyssinia and the Adjacent Lands." These maps highlight the Nile Valley and surrounding regions. The maps from the Blackie & Son atlas published in 1882 are interesting for several reasons: 1. **Historical Context**: The year 1882 is significant because it falls within the period of European imperial expansion in Africa. It was also just before the British occupation of Egypt, which began that year. Therefore, the maps serve as historical documents showing the geopolitical state of the region just before a major shift in its colonial status. 2. **Cartographic Style**: The maps reflect the cartographic style of the late 19th century, which often featured detailed engravings and fine detail. They provide a snapshot of the cartographic knowledge and aesthetic of the time. 3. **Geographical Knowledge**: These maps were created during a time when much of Africa's interior was still being explored by Europeans. The representation of features like rivers, mountains, and settlements can tell us about the extent of geographical knowledge at the time. 4. **Cultural Representation**: The way the map represents different regions, peoples, and geographical features can give insights into the cultural and political views of the era. It may reflect the European understanding and biases towards these regions. 5. **Educational Purpose**: Blackie & Son were known for their educational materials...
