Antique Map of Central Africa, 1903, With Colonial Territories Explorers Routes

Informazioni sull’articolo

Antique Map of Central Africa, 1903, Featuring Colonial Territories and Explorers’ Routes This antique map, titled "Central Africa," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a richly detailed and captivating look at Central Africa during a time of significant colonial expansion, exploration, and mapping. Hand-colored in subtle pastel hues, the map delineates the colonial claims of European powers, including the British, French, German, Portuguese, and Belgian empires. Major features include the Congo River basin, the Great Lakes region, and the eastern highlands, all captured in exquisite detail with clear topographical features. Of particular interest are the exploration routes of renowned explorers like Stanley, Livingstone, and Speke, which are carefully traced across the map. These routes reflect the intense period of geographic discovery and the race for resources that characterized the late 19th century in Africa. For historians, collectors, and those with a passion for African history, this map is an invaluable artifact—a record of both the cultural and political complexity of Central Africa and the profound changes wrought by European colonialism. Condition report: This map is in very good antique condition, with minor foxing and gentle edge toning consistent with its age. The colors remain vibrant and the paper is well-preserved and stable. Framing tips: A classic wooden frame in walnut or cherry will highlight the soft pastel coloring and fine detail of the map. Use a cream or off-white matting to enhance the refined engraving and create an elegant, timeless focal point for any study, home library, or office.
