D'EGYPTE, par , GRAND -BEY
THE Grand Bey map, printed at a scale of 1:4000 and rendered in color on four
sheets, presented Cairo not simply as it was, but as it might be for it included avenues
or "Percements" through the fabric of the old city. The important religious
monuments of the city, Islamic and Christian, were differentiated both by color (red
for mosques, and blue for churches and synagogues) and notation (numbers for the mosques,
and letters for churches and synagogues). The map identified a total of 282 mosques on it, of
which nine were unnamed.
