EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "PARTITIONED AFRICA, 1914" captures a significant moment in history when the continent of Africa was divided among European powers. The map, created in English in 1934, vividly depicts the European possessions on the African continent as they stood in 1914. The colors used on this map serve as a visual representation of colonialism and its impact on Africa during that time period. Each hue signifies a different European power's possession or influence over various regions across the vast continent. This image offers us a glimpse into the complex web of colonization and partitioning that occurred during this era. It reminds us of how Africa's rich resources and strategic locations were sought after by European nations eager to expand their empires. Notably, it highlights the Nile River, which played an essential role in shaping ancient civilizations and continues to be vital for modern-day countries along its course. The presence of colonies along this iconic river underscores its significance both historically and geopolitically. As we observe this photograph print from The Granger Collection based in New York, it serves as a reminder of Africa's tumultuous past while also prompting reflection on present-day challenges faced by many African nations striving for independence, unity, and self-determination.
