réf. 49083Alexandria in Egypt : British Consulate 1823. Lithographed pro-forma document with manuscript entries 270 x 385 mm on wove paper watermarked with an Eagle and FAG in roman cf. Edward Heawood Watermarks Mainly of the 17th and 18th Centuries. Hilversum 1950 p. 24; embossed paper seal of the British Consulate Alexandria in Egypt intact at lower left; signed by Peter Lee Consul at lower right and countersigned by consular chancellor Guido Domenico Vedova at lower left; old horizontal and vertical folds with tiny perforations at the junctions otherwise extremely well preserved. This rare passport of safe conduct was issued by the British consul at Alexandria Peter Lee to Captain Benjamin Adams of the 17th Light Dragoons. Adams would have served with his regiment in both India and Egypt before making his way back to England via Malta Sicily and the Continent. The details of his regiment and route of his journey are known from an associated document issued to him in Malta in August 1823. One particularly interesting detail contained in the document is the public health warning the consul provides to any would-be Italian Ottoman British Maltese or other official who might read it: one of his handwritten entries states explicitly that the city from whence the passport holder has travelled is experiencing daily outbreaks of the plague. Peter Lee was a prominent English merchant at Alexandria. Following his death in 1825 he was succeeded as consul by John Barker. Both Lee and Barker were subordinate to the Consul-General in Egypt Henry Salt.
