A unique survivor, this is a 1915 map of Brazzaville and its environs by Raymond Bouquet, a French colonial administrator. The ferro-gallic print process suggests it was issued in Brazzaville for administrative use, likely in less than 10 examples. Encompassing the Congo River, numerous villages, and a telegraph line, this map captures Brazzaville at the end of a period of explosive urban development, but also during World War I (1914 - 1918), when it became a staging point for French troops to wage war against German Cameroon.
