This finely detailed copperplate engraving, published by Samuel Bagster in London circa 1830, presents panoramic views of key landmarks in Alexandria, Egypt. The engraving is divided into four distinct vignettes: Vue auprès d'Alexandrie, Vue de l'Obélisque de Cleopatre, Vue du grand Phareillon, and Vue du Port neuf d'Alexandrie. Each scene is meticulously rendered with precise line work, capturing the architectural grandeur and historical significance of these iconic locations. The composition reflects the European fascination with Egyptian monuments during the 19th century, a period marked by exploration and archaeological interest in ancient cultures.

Samuel Bagster, a well-known London-based publisher, was recognized for producing scholarly and religious texts, as well as geographical and historical engravings.
