Map of French Indochina comprising territories of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
This striking & highly decorative poster map of French Indochina by Lucien Boucher was originally commissioned by the Association Nationale de L'Indochine Francaise. Boucher's vision of French Indochina focuses on the richness of indigenous flora and fauna, with attractive vignettes of elephants, snakes, monkeys, deer, tigers & leopards. The region's important natural resources are also highlighted, with beautifully presented scenes of rice planting, farming, logging and mining. Illustrations reference archaelogical sites & temple ruins of Cambodia's Angkor Wat & Kampong Cham and Vietnam's ancient Imperial City of Hué. Offshore, numerous oriental junks and fishing vessels ply their trade amid shoals of fish, turtle and a giant sea monster. A stunningly designed large compass spur upper right is counterbalanced by an equally striking title cartouche lower left, whose orientaliste motifs and decoration further emphasize the region's exotic indigenous culture & riches.
Our Map Reproductions are handmade in our Los Angeles studio using heavyweight 23 mil Epson Exhibition Satin Canvas. This elegantly textured canvas features a semi-gloss satin surface that is enhanced with protective elastic polymers. Decorative wood is assembled on the top and bottom, with two eye-hooks mounted on the top piece. We also supply a jute rope twine that can be attached between the two eye-hooks to complete the vintage feel of a roll down canvas scroll.
