EDITORS COMMENTS
Le plateau de Bihe, or Bihe Plateau, is depicted in this stunning 1914 map print from the French publication "Grande Geographie Illustree." The image captures the vast and expansive landscape of the Bihe Plateau, located in southern Africa, during the early 20th century. The plateau is situated in what is now western Zambia and northeastern Angola, and is characterized by its flat, treeless expanse, making it a striking contrast to the lush, green landscapes commonly associated with Africa. The mapmakers of this era were driven by a fascination with exploring and documenting the world, and the creation of detailed and accurate cartographic representations was a testament to their skill and dedication. This map, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to the advancements in mapmaking technology and techniques during the 1900s. The Bihe Plateau holds historical significance as well. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European powers, including France, vied for control of the African continent, and the plateau was a strategic location due to its proximity to important trade routes and natural resources. The map provides insight into the geopolitical landscape of the time, with the territorial claims of various European powers clearly marked. This map print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and providing a window into the world as it was understood during the early 20th century. Its intricate details and rich colors make it a beautiful addition to any collection of historical maps or Africana, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of cartography in shaping our understanding of the world.
