Please inquire for further details.<br> Roberts set sail for Egypt on 31 August 1838 a few years after Owen Jones. His intent was to produce drawings that he could later use as the basis for the paintings and lithographs to sell to the public. Egypt was much in vogue at this time and travellers collectors and lovers of antiquities were keen to buy works inspired by the East or depicting the great monuments of ancient Egypt.<br> Roberts made a long tour in Egypt Nubia the Sinai the Holy Land Jordan and Lebanon. Throughout he produced a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches.<br> On his return to Britain Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe from 1842 to 1849 to produce these lavishly illustrated plates. He funded the work through advance subscriptions which he solicited directly. The scenery and monuments of Egypt and Holy Land were fashionable but had hitherto been hardly touched by British artists and so Roberts quickly accumulated 400 subscription commitments with Queen Victoria being subscriber No. 1.

‎The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia. With historical descriptions by George Croly and William Brockedon.‎

‎Erste Ausgabe dieses epochalen Tafelwerks über den Nahen Osten mit allen 248 Ansichten des Heiligen Landes (in getönten Lithos) und Ägyptens (in farbig getönten Lithos). - Blackmer 1432. Lipperheide 1590 und 1591. Röhricht 1983. Abbey, Travel, 385 und 272. - "David Roberts was the first professional artist to visit the Near East without a patron or a connection to a military expedition or missionary group. He sailed to Alexandria in 1838 and for eleven months traveled up the Nile River, across deserts and mountains, through Egypt and the Holy Land, to arrive in Jerusalem on Easter 1839. He continued north to Lebanon and departed from Beirut in May. Roberts recorded his impressions of landscapes, temples, ruins, and people in three sketchbooks and more than 272 watercolors. These sketches and paintings provided the basis for the 247 lithographs published with text between 1842 and 1849 as the three-volume "Holy Land." The images were produced by Louis Haghe, the best and most prolific lithographer of the time. Originally from Tournai, Belgium, Haghe moved to England before 1825 and established himself as specialist of the hand-tinted lithograph. His sensitive handling of the lithographer`s tools imparts a range of tonality and color as well as a sense of the delicacy and spontaneous quality of Roberts`s original images. Roberts`s plates are among the most popular images of famous sites in the Near East. As John Ruskin wrote they make "true portraiture of scenes of historical and religious interest. They are faithful and laborious beyond any outlines from nature I have ever seen." (ww.metmuseum.org). - "In point of bulk and ambition Roberts`s Holy Land was one of the most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing, and it was the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph... There is pleasure to be had from many of the individual plates, where Haghe`s skilful and delicate lithography, and his faithful interpretation of Roberts`s draughtsmanship and dramatic sense, combine in what are undoubtedly remarkable examples of tinted lithographic work. Particularly in the Egypt and Nubia section, one feels that the colossal subjects and broad vistas were ideally suited to Roberts`s talent, trained as he was in theatrical scene-painting during his early days in Carlisle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London...Roberts was fully appreciative of Haghe`s work, writing that: `Haghe has not only surpassed himself, but all that has hitherto been done of a similar nature. He has rendered the views in a style clear, simple, and unlaboured, with a masterly vigour and boldness which none but a painter like him could have transferred to stone`" (Abbey 341). - Das Werk erschien in insgesamt 3 Varianten: Die kolorierte Subskribtions-Ausgabe (mit den 2 Bll. "Subskribenten-Verzeichnis"), eine Ausgabe mit farbigen getönten Lithographien und eine Ausgabe mit getönten Lithographien. Vorliegend ist eine Mischausgabe, die Ägypten Bände enthalten die farbig getönten Lithos, die Bände des heiligen Landes mit den getönten Lithos. - Titel mit hs. Namen. Teils etw. wasserrandig. Durchgehend fleckig, vereinzelt im weißen Rand stark fleckig.‎
