EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Map of Colonial Africa from 1911. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring to life the complex web of colonial empires that once dominated the African continent. Created by Charles Lacoste, this map was originally featured in a school book, serving as an educational tool for students during that era. The map highlights the various colonies established by European powers such as Belgium, France, Italy, England, and Germany. It vividly illustrates how these nations divided and exploited Africa's resources through imperialistic practices. From the vast Congo River to the majestic Nile, every inch of land was subject to plunder and control. This image serves as a reminder of the dark period in history when colonialism reigned supreme. It symbolizes not only the territorial ambitions but also the cultural clashes between African societies and their European colonizers. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it is crucial to acknowledge its significance beyond mere aesthetics. It prompts us to question our past actions while urging us to learn from them. This print stands as a testament to humanity's capacity for both progress and exploitation - reminding us never to forget or repeat our mistakes.
