“Nouméa 15 7.04, Affectueusement. Victor Segalen”
(“Nouméa 15 7.04, Affectionately. Victor Segalen”).

In 1904, Segalen took advantage of a short stay in Nouméa to continue the writing of Les Immémoriaux, a novel denouncing the agony of the Maori civilization decimated by the European presence, which was published under the pseudonym Max-Anély in 1907.
