François-Joseph Marie Maire, a French cartographer, created a map titled "Map of the part of Albania occupied by the Pasha of Scutari" in 1788. This map translates to "Map of the part of Albania occupied by the Pasha of Scutari."

The map depict the region of Albania that was under the control or authority of the Ottoman Pasha (also spelled "Pacha" or "Basha") based in the city of Scutari (now known as Shkodër).

François-Joseph Marie Maire (1758–1837) was a French cartographer and geographer known for his significant contributions to the field of cartography during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was born in Besançon, France, and his work primarily focused on producing detailed maps and atlases.

One of Maire's notable works is the creation of the "Atlas de l'Europe" (Atlas of Europe), a comprehensive atlas published in 1787, which included detailed maps of European regions. The atlas featured various maps, including political boundaries, geographic features, and other relevant information of the time.

Maire's work is significant not only for its cartographic accuracy but also for its historical value, as it provides insights into the geopolitical landscape of Europe and other regions during the late 18th century. His contributions have made him an important figure in the history of cartography.
