Known as the 'Bishop's Map', this is an exceptional and important 1838 map of Vietnam by Jean-Louis Taberd, a French missionary. Printed in Calcutta, India, the map is based on Taberd's 10 years of missionary work in Cochinchina, modern-day southern Vietnam, under the Nguyễn Emperors, and is thus the first major advancement on the mapping of Vietnam cartography since the 1653 Alexander de Rhodes map. The map illustrates the Nguyễn Empire at the height of its power and influence, near half a century before the French interventions and subsequent colonization known as 'French Indochina'.
