Indochina, Madagascar and the French territories of West and Equatorial Africa are mapped physically, politically and economically in the Atlas Colonial Français, with maps and text by Commandant P. Pollacchi. The material dates from 1929 to 1938, including the revised third edition. The atlas covered colonies, protectorates and mandated territories alike: physical maps examine Indochina and Madagascar with the Comoros and Mayotte, economic sheets describe the resources of French West Africa, and detailed coverage includes the Algerian department of Oran and its city. World sheets set out the French empire as a whole, with an account of its colonial position in 1870.
