Scarce wall-map of Egypt, drawn by William Martin Leake, a Colonel in the Royal Artillery, and engraved by Sidney Hall for Aaron Arrowsmith Sr., the leading publisher of large-scale surveys of his day. The map traces the river to Es-Souan, Aswan, and continues, in an inset, as far as the District of Say where a note states "Here is the most southern Cataract of the Nile". The vast blank areas of country around the river are filled with lengthy "Remarks" and annotations concerning both historical and current facts. This example is in the original sheets, uncut, and is a good, clean, dark impression.
