Description
English: This is a rare French nautical chart or map of Alexandria, Egypt dating to 1867 (updated to 1882).

In the harbor there are countless depth soundings in meters, sailing notations, and references to shoals, lights, and navigational points. Inland there is a wealth of information regarding the city proper, important buildings, topography, gardens, streets, palaces, walled fortifications, and surrounding villages. Detailed textual sailing instructions in the lower right quadrant.
