EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and captivating geographical map print from the early 20th century, specifically from the year 1914. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it was published in the renowned French geographical magazine "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree." The map provides a detailed and colorful representation of the southern African region, with a particular focus on the Ngami Depression in what is now known as Botswana and northern South Africa. The mapmaking techniques employed during this era are evident in the meticulous depiction of topographical features, including rivers, mountains, and bodies of water. At the time, this region was known as Bechuanaland, a territory under British protection. The map reflects the European exploration and cartographic efforts in Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The map's title, "Depression du Ngami Kalahari; Afrique Australe," translates to "Ngami Depression, Southern Africa," highlighting the geographical significance of this area. The map's vibrant colors and detailed illustrations transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the historical context of European exploration and mapping of the African continent.
