EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Map of Lower Egypt and part of Syria" takes us back to the early 19th century during the French Revolutionary Wars. Published by William Blackwood and Sons in Edinburgh & London in 1848, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into the cartography and positions of armies during the campaign of 1789-1801. The aerial view depicted here showcases the coastal regions with intricate details along the shoreline, particularly highlighting the Nile Delta. As we examine this historical artifact, it becomes evident that meticulous effort was put into mapping out these strategic areas for military purposes. The significance of this map lies not only in its accurate representation but also in its ability to transport us back to a time when Egypt and Syria were at the center stage of conflict. It serves as a reminder of how geography played a crucial role in shaping history. As we delve deeper into this print from Alexander Keith Johnston's private collection, one cannot help but appreciate his mastery as a cartographer. The delicate engravings bring life to each contour line and symbolize an era where maritime exploration was paramount. While admiring this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us reflect on how maps like these have shaped our understanding of past events while simultaneously igniting curiosity about those who once traversed these lands centuries ago.
