Paul Pelet’s original antique maps chart France’s colonial empire in 1902, from North and West Africa to Madagascar, Indochina and the Pacific. Published by Armand Colin for the French Ministry of Colonies, the Atlas des Colonies Françaises combines detailed regional mapping with a world overview and plans of strategic naval bases. Colour distinguishes territories, while rivers, settlements and transport networks reveal the geography of colonial administration and commerce. Highlights include Vietnam’s Red River delta, Tahiti and the Marquesas, and France’s scattered possessions in India and the Caribbean. Historical place names and colonial boundaries offer revealing comparisons with today’s political map.
