## Image Caption

This antique map of Indochina, dated 1909, was produced under the direction of Auguste Pavie and based on surveys carried out by members of the Pavie Mission between 1880 and 1895. It was created under the auspices of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Colonies. Contributors include Captains Cupet, Friquegnon, de Malglaive, and Seauve, among others. The map reflects geographical data collected in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and southern [China](https://www.worldhistory.org/china/), incorporating hydrographic and topographic work as well as military routes and local sources. It was engraved by the Service Géographique de l’Indo-Chine and reviewed by Captain Tixier of the Colonial Artillery.
