Fascinating map of Egypt with extensive detail showing both ancient and modern sites. With a large architectural cartouche, the map demonstrates scientific and scholarly accuracy graced by a Gallic appreciation for beauty. The width of the Nile is shown in its true proportions (Pedley, Nr. 431) Towns, villages , ruins, springs, monasteries and mosques are meticulously documented.. The same thoroughness extends to the Legend, which includes translations of Arabic terms and classical sources for ancient place names.
