This article reviews the substantial academic publication project "Atlas of Algeria and Tunisia." Conceived in 1910, the atlas aims to provide a comprehensive cartographic synthesis of the physical, demographic, and economic phenomena of Algeria and Tunisia. The article details the eight fascicles published so far, covering themes such as geology, hypsometry, climatology, phytogeography, and rural habitation, and evaluates each fascicle's map content, methodology, sources, and scientific value. It concludes that the atlas, with its abundant material, valuable sources, and high-quality cartography, represents a significant achievement in European colonial cartography, serving as an essential reference for geographers, administrators, and the educated public alike.
