Book Description
David Roberts, one of the most skilled landscape artists of his time, set out for Egypt in 1838, where he made countless sketches of the most remarkable sites and monuments.Superb lithographs made from his work, first published between 1846 and 1848, are richly reproduced here in resplendent color, along with Roberts' diary accounts of his travels from Alexandria to the fabulous Abu Simbel temples. Each illustration, now arranged in chronological order, is accompanied by a photograph showing the same view more than 150 years later.Fabio Bourbon's lucid essay introduces anew this 19th-century virtuoso lithographer and contextualizes his images for the modern reader.

Book Description
In 1838, Scottish painter David Roberts (1796-1864) embarked on a three-year journey that would shape Europe's perception of the Middle East. Nurtured on Bible stories and tales of the exotic Orient, Roberts had always dreamed of exploring the Holy Land, though travel there was an arduous, dangerous undertaking. While he set himself the goal of bringing home an accurate visual record, he returned with a portfolio of hand-tinted lithographs that lost nothing of romanticism. His use of light, color, and atmosphere lent an aura of exoticism to his realistic view.
