Bathymetrie de l'Ouest de l'Ocean Indien; Iles Africaines de la Mer des Indes
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and historically significant geographical map print from the early 20th century. The map, created in 1914, depicts the western part of the Indian Ocean and the African islands in that region. The map's title translates to "Bathymetry of the West of the Indian Ocean; African Islands of the Indian Sea" in English. The map is a testament to the advancements in cartography and geological exploration during the 1900s. The use of color and detail in the map is striking, with various shades representing the depths of the ocean floor. The map also includes labels for numerous islands and countries in the region, including Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, and Mayotte. The map was published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," a French geography magazine, in 1914. Despite the lack of information regarding the creator of the map itself, it is clear that this was an important piece of cartographic work produced during a time when European powers were expanding their influence and knowledge of the world's oceans and continents. The map provides a fascinating glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the African continent and the Indian Ocean during the early 20th century. Its intricate detail and use of color make it a visually stunning addition to any collection of historical maps or geographical prints. Whether used for educational or decorative purposes, this map is a valuable reminder of the rich history of cartography and the exploration of the world's oceans and continents.
