EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical map of German South West Africa during the First World War, dating back to approximately 1920. Created by John Bartholomew & Son, this map sheds light on the German annexation of South West Africa in the 1880s and its subsequent rule for over a century. Namibia's journey towards independence finally culminated in 1990 after enduring both German and South African governance. Extracted from "The Great World War - A History". Volume III, edited by Frank A Mumby, this image offers a glimpse into an era defined by colonialism and territorial disputes. The vibrant colors employed in this map bring life to the concept of empire-building as well as highlighting key locations along the coastal region. As we delve into this piece of history, it becomes evident that it serves not only as a geographical representation but also as a testament to the significant role played by Germany during World War I. This print is truly an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the complexities surrounding Namibia's occupation and its place within the theatre of war. Preserved through time by Heritage Images, this remarkable artifact provides us with valuable insights into past events while reminding us of our collective responsibility to learn from history's triumphs and mistakes alike.
