EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Upper Nile Basin Map; The regions of the Cazembe' by Charles Tilstone Beke, dates back to the 1870s and is taken from Henry Walter Bates' 'Illustrated Travels'. The map provides a detailed geographical representation of the Upper Nile Basin during the late 19th century, with a particular focus on the regions of Cazembe. Charles Tilstone Beke (1827-1894) was a British explorer, naturalist, and cartographer, who made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of Africa during the Victorian era. This map, produced in London by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, reflects Beke's extensive knowledge of the region and his meticulous attention to detail. The map illustrates the Nile River and its tributaries, as well as various geological features and locations in East Africa. The Nile, the longest river in the world, is depicted flowing from Lake Victoria in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the north. The map also highlights the regions of Cazembe, which were of particular interest to Beke due to their rich natural resources and cultural significance. The mapmaking process during this period was a complex and time-consuming endeavor, requiring extensive fieldwork, precise measurements, and intricate drafting techniques. Beke's 'Upper Nile Basin Map; The regions of the Cazembe' is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the cartographer and the advances in geographical knowledge during the 19th century. Today, this historical map remains an important resource for scholars and researchers studying the history of Africa, cartography, and the exploration of the Nile River. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of maps or Africana.
