EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'Delta central ou region lacustre du Niger; L'Ouest Africain, 1914,' showcases the intricate and complex geography of the Niger Delta region in West Africa. The image, created in the 1910s, is an engraving taken from the renowned French geographical publication, 'Grande Geographie Bong Illustree,' published in 1914. The photograph reveals the vast network of waterways and lakes that make up the Niger Delta, a significant inland region located in present-day Mali and Nigeria. The Niger River, a major African waterway, is prominently featured, winding its way through the landscape and dividing the delta into distinct sections. The mapmaking of this era was crucial in understanding the geographical features of the region, which was largely unexplored by Europeans at the time. The print offers a glimpse into the colonial era of African cartography, with the French influence evident in the labeling and naming of various geographical features. The image is a testament to the historical significance of mapmaking and the role it played in shaping our understanding of the world. Despite being over a century old, the photograph remains an essential resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the geography and history of West Africa. The creator of this photograph is unknown, but it is a reminder of the rich and complex history that lies within the pages of old maps and geographical publications. The photograph's intricate details and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of African history, cartography, or geography.
