General

Unsigned but annotated in Arabic, so it may have been drawn by B. A. al-Malek who created maps and plans for Wace in 1948 during the latter's tenure as professor in Alexandria, Egypt when he was finalising the text of Mycenae, an Archaeological History and Guide. Princeton Univ. Press, 1949.
