Port of Alexandria ~Catalog 52~ A fine copperplate engraved mapPort of Alexandria. This map is from an uncommon set of small travelers maps by Luffman that could serve as a quick reference for even the more remote parts of the world. Many were coastal and port depictions that detailed cities locations, good points to anchor, as well as large landmarks. Here a view of the harbor around Alexandria showing the area around the "new port" and "old port" as well as the general footprint of the "site of the Old City".
