EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical map of South-Central Africa, highlighting the British and German possessions during the 1890s. Published in The Graphic on June 25th, 1890, this map provides valuable insights into the colonial landscape of that era. The inset map positioned at the lower left corner offers an intriguing comparison between England and Africa, both depicted on the same scale. The intricate details within this image shed light on the complex dynamics of European colonialism during the late 19th century. It serves as a visual representation of power struggles and territorial acquisitions between Britain and Germany in Africa. This snapshot from history reveals how these nations sought to expand their influence by establishing colonies across African lands. As we delve into this archival piece, it becomes evident that this map symbolizes more than just geographical boundaries; it represents a pivotal period in world history characterized by imperialism and domination. The contrast between white-controlled territories denoting European possession and black-dominated regions underscores the racial disparities prevalent during that time. Ken Welsh's expertly captured photograph allows us to explore not only cartography but also delves deeper into our shared human story. It invites us to reflect upon past events while considering their impact on present-day realities.
