1882 Maclure and Macdonald Birds-Eye View Map of Cairo, Egypt



WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS


Title: Birds Eye View of Cairo Looking North East.

Description: An uncommon 1882 birds-eye view map of Cairo, Egypt. This view was issued as a supplement to the 23rd, September, 1882 issue of The Graphic. The view presets Cairo looking north east from somewhere high above the Treat Pyramids of Giza, which feature prominently in the foreground. Centered on the Nile, the full view covers from Abukebir to the Pyramids of Giza and from Subt ed Dak to the Plain of Muggreh. Numerous important sites are evident from the image, including the Citadel, Old Cairo, Heliopolis, and Bulak. Ismailia and the Suez Canal is visible in the distance.

This map view was issued by The Graphic to capatiolize on popular British interest in the Anglo-Egyptian War. The Anglo-Egyptian War occurred in 1882 between Egyptian and Sudanese forces under Ahmed ‘Urabi and the United Kingdom. It ended a nationalist uprising against the Khedive Tewfik Pasha and vastly expanded British influence over the country, at the expense of the French. This began an extended period of Biritsh influence in Egypt, including occupation by British troops, until the Anglo–Egyptian Treaty of 1922 and Anglo-Egyptian treaty of 1936 returned gradual control to the people of Egypt.

Size: Printed area measures 15.5 inches high by 22 inches wide.

Condition: Very good. Original centerfold exhibits some wear.



Shipping: Shipping rates are not negotiable. Items are shipped within three business days of receiving payment. We are happy to consolidate shipping where possible. The following shipping options are available:
1. FedEx Overnight (45 USD). USA Only. Signature Required.
2. FedEx Ground or Home Delivery (15 USD). USA Only. 1 - 10 days. If your address is a P.O. Box and cannot ship FedEx we will ship USPS Priority and, while we ship promptly, recent postal personnel cutbacks mean that delivery may take time. Signature Required.
3. FedEx International or DHL International EXPRESS (45 USD).
4. We can use your FedEx Account.

Customs: International buyers are responsible for paying duty and taxes on delivery. DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.

Insurance: All shipments are insured privately against loss and damage. All of our shipments require a signature for insurance purposes.

If you have any questions please feel free to email us through eBay.
