A French colonial survey published in Paris by Quantin in 1889, produced by Louis Henrique for the Ministry of Colonies and the Exposition coloniale of that year. Its pictures are pen-and-ink or engraved views of colonial buildings, thatched huts, and coastal villages, with a designer able to take clear architectural forms, tropical settings, and the contrast of colonnaded stone houses against palm-roofed dwellings.
