PIERRE Grand Bey

PLAN GENERAL de la VILLE DU CAIRE
Dresse et Publie avec L'AUTHORISATION De S.A.ISMAIL PACHA KHEDIVE D'EGYPTE, par , GRAND -BEY

 Cairo 1874

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.
