This is an 1890 Jean Dosseray wall map of Africa, published five years after the Berlin Conference that defined the Scramble for Africa. Dosseray uses color to illustrate regions claimed by various European powers, including France, England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Portugal. Some are also identified by flags, including Algeria (France), Angola (Portugal), and Mozambique (Portugal). The bright green region in central Africa represents the Congo Free State, privately owned by King Leopold II of Belgium. The large inset map in the lower left focuses on the Congo Free State and the free economic zone in Central Africa established by the Berlin Conference. A second inset just above focuses on the Nile Delta. The critical Suez Canal is also illustrated. (more details)

This is an attractive 1890 Jean Dosseray map of North and South America. The map is divided into sections dedicated to North America and South America. Although most of the content is in French, additional titling in English, Italian, and Spanish underscore the author's intended pan-European audience. A row of flags across the top add a vexillological component. Bold lines trace continental railroad networks throughout both maps. In addition, significant attention is given to First Peoples nations, which are labeled throughout. An inset in the lower left focuses on the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea. (more details)
