Catalogue Note

The official Indochine Française booklet was published for the Paris Colonial Exhibition in 1931. The booklet promoted many aspects of French Indochina such the colony's geography, agriculture, economics and culture, to visitors of the exhibition. 

The 1931 Paris Colonial Exhibition also marks the first time the École des Beaux-Arts de L'Indochine in Hanoi displayed works of their students like Le Pho,  Nguyen Phan Chanh and Georges Khanh.

This lot is accompanied by an original copy of the Indochine Française  booklet.
