This rare tinted lithograph is from the David Roberts ”The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia” lithographed by Louis Haghe. The work was published by F.G. Moonin in London, 1847.
David Roberts travelled in the Middle East and North Africa, particularly Egypt, from 1838 to 1839. During his journey, Roberts produced a great number of sketches. He developed these into watercolours, which were the basis for the series of 247 lithographs called The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia, published between 1842 and 1849.
