AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exciting edition of this work conceived in the context of colonial expansion and the desire to disseminate standardized geographic knowledge, presenting France department by department, while integrating colonial possessions into a unified view of the national territory.
Each map is accompanied by explanatory notes that detail physical geography, natural resources, agricultural and industrial productions, as well as the main cities and communication routes, offering a comprehensive and educational overview.
This volume embodies the intersection of cartographic science, pedagogy, and imperial politics, and contributes to the development of an editorial heritage where the representation of the territory becomes a tool of knowledge and power.
