The Holy Land: Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia
A travelogue of the Near East published in London in 1849, with text by George Croly and lithographs by the Scottish painter David Roberts, made for a Victorian readership interested in biblical lands. The pictures are tinted stone lithographs of rock-cut monuments, monasteries and figures in landscape, offering a designer tonal sepia and grey views of sculpted cliffs and ruins with strong architectural silhouettes.
