ROUTES BETWEEN ZEILA AND HARAR IN THE 1880 [Abstract ID: 0514-01]
I shall use three types of material: the written descriptions made by Alfred Bardey (“Notes sur le Harar”, ’Barr-Adjam: souvenirs d’Afrique orientale, 1880-1888’) ; the map he drew (‘Somal, Harar et pays Gallas’); the picture taken by Edouard Bidault de Glatigné and his itineraries plus some other documents in order to try to establish what knowledge European travellers had of the geographical area between Zeila and Harar in the 1880’s.
