One of my older maps, it comes from one of my favorite books in my collection. It’s from a book written in French and details the journeys of Generals Bonaparte, Kleber and Menou in Egypt. I acquired it from an antique book dealer in Torino, Italy. (Voyage historique en Égypte pendant les campagnes des généraux Bonaparte, Kléber et Menou. Printed inVersailles in 1818 and written by Dominique di Pietro.)
