Published just a year after the Battle of Aboukir Bay—won by Admiral Nelson's thirteen ships of the line over General Bonaparte's thirteen, almost all of which were destroyed or captured—this map of Lower Egypt traces in detail the land route of the most recent French military campaign. Above all, it highlights the complex river and maritime conditions of the Nile Delta, which, among other things, made the Royal Navy's victorious maneuver possible.
