The map, created by an unknown cartographer for the esteemed French publication "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree," showcases the Melanesian region of New Guinea and the surrounding Pacific territories in vibrant colors. The map's rich hues and meticulous labeling reveal the extensive knowledge of the geography of the region during that era. The map includes various islands, topographical features, and political boundaries, reflecting the extensive research and dedication of the cartographer. The map's title, "La Nouvelle-Guinee; Les Terres Du Pacifique," translates to "New Guinea; The Lands of the Pacific," highlighting the focus on this significant area of the Pacific Ocean.
