Book Description
This book is a photographic sketch of the colonies and protectorates the French established around the turn of the century and the budding exploitation of those colonies.

The journey covers the present-day countries of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The text, in English, includes a brief introduction to the specific characteristics and history of each country. The photographs also include monuments of Champa, an extinct culture on the coast of Central Vietnam. Tribal people from various regions are shown in their traditional costumes.
