An important late 18th-century French map of Southeast Asia and the East Indies, authored by Hydrographer to the Royal Navy Rigobert Bonne and engraved by Gaspard André. The map covers an expansive region stretching from Southern China and Formosa (Taiwan) southwards through Indochina, Siam, the Malay Peninsula, the Philippine Archipelago, and northern Borneo, extending east to Guam and the Mariana Islands inset at the upper right. Cartographically, the map illustrates regional political entities with distinct hand-colored outline borders, including the Kingdoms of Laos, Siam, Cambodia, Cochinchina, and Tonkin. Maritime hazards, including the Paracel Islands and Shoals ('Le Paracel'), are prominently highlighted, alongside detailed soundings, coastal features, and monsoon wind directional indicators labeled by month along the South China Sea. Produced during the height of the Enlightenment, Bonne's work favored scientific precision over ornate decorative cartouches. This map was created for Guillaume Raynal's influential atlas, 'Atlas de toutes les parties connues du globe terrestre', published around 1780, reflecting European geopolitical and trade interests in East Asia during the late 18th century.
