"The Philippines, Formosa, South China, the Kingdoms of Tonkin, Cochin China, Cambodia, Siam, Laos, and part of those of Pegu and Ava" is a historical map created by Charles Marie Rigobert Bonne, a prominent French cartographer of the 18th century. Bonne, who served as the Royal Hydrographer in France, was renowned for his detailed and accurate cartographic works, which were highly regarded for their precision and comprehensiveness during the Age of Enlightenment.

This particular map, produced in the late 18th century, is a significant representation of Southeast Asia and parts of East Asia, encompassing regions that are today known as the Philippines, Taiwan (historically referred to as Formosa), parts of southern China, and several Southeast Asian kingdoms including Tonkin (northern Vietnam), Cochin China (southern Vietnam), Cambodia, Siam (Thailand), Laos, and portions of the territories of Pegu and Ava (in present-day Myanmar). The map is notable for its meticulous detail and the inclusion of both political and geographical features, reflecting the European understanding and interest in these regions during that period.

Bonne's work is characterized by its use of precise longitudinal and latitudinal lines, which were innovative for the time and contributed to the accuracy of navigation and exploration. The map also includes various topographical elements such as mountain ranges, rivers, and coastal outlines, providing a comprehensive view of the landscape. Additionally, it marks significant cities, ports, and other settlements, offering insights into the political and economic centers of the era.

The map is not only a valuable historical document but also an artistic piece, showcasing the cartographic techniques and aesthetic sensibilities of the 18th century. It serves as an important resource for historians, geographers, and scholars interested in the colonial and pre-colonial history of Southeast Asia and East Asia, as well as the development of cartography as a scientific discipline. Bonne's contributions to cartography have left a lasting legacy, and his maps continue to be studied and admired for their historical significance and craftsmanship.
