The colorful lithograph showcases a map of the Pacific islands that now form part of French Polynesia, an overseas territory of the French Republic. Among these islands are the Marquesas Islands, Society Islands, and Tuamotu-Gambier. The image also includes New Caledonia, which is currently a special collectivity of France located in the southwest Pacific Ocean. This historical snapshot provides a glimpse into France's colonial empire at its height. Intriguing elements within this artwork include a ship sailing towards the Marquesas Islands, symbolizing exploration and colonization. A warrior armed with arrows and spear represents indigenous resistance to foreign influence.
