| M. Bonamy's reconstruction of ancient Alexandria, which is the oldest known reconstruction from a paper given on 31st August 1731, published 1736 | H. de Vaujany, Recherches sur les Anciens Monuments Situe sur le Grand-Port d'Alexandrie, 1888 |
Map of modern Alexandria
with Mahmoud Bey's plan of the ancient streets superimposed in red,
published in H de Vaujany's guide-book: Description de l'Egypte, Alexandrie et la Basse-Egypte, Paris 1885 |
Reconstruction of ancient Alexandria drawn by G. Botti in 1898. Although fundamentally deriving from the Mahmoud Bey map, the extra walls shown in this reconstruction seem too elaborate and the relocation and widening of the principal streets is probably incorrect. | Reconstruction of ancient Alexandria drawn by Tassos Neroutsos Bey to accompany his book, L'Ancienne Alexandrie, published in 1888. Based on the Mahmoud Bey map, but with the addition of details deriving from archaeological investigations or ancient sources. | Reconstruction of ancient Alexandria drawn by Wilhelm Sieglin (Sieglin archaeological expedition 1898-1902). Based on the Mahmoud Bey map, but with the addition of details deriving from archaeological investigations or ancient sources. |
