This meme is a screenshot of a map from a 17th-century atlas, specifically the "Carte des Indes Orientales" by Guillaume Delahaye. The image shows a stylized map of the Indian Ocean and surrounding regions, with various countries and cities labeled in French. At the top of the image, a banner reads "Carte des Indes Orientales" in French, and at the bottom, a smaller text says "In the year 1690, the French East India Company was established".
