The Holy Land: Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia: = Egypt & Nubia [2]
This is a volume of lithographic plates from David Roberts' travel survey of the Holy Land, Syria, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia, issued in London in 1849 with text by George Croly for a European readership of armchair travellers and scholars. The pictures are tinted lithographs of Egyptian temples and Nile riverside scenes, with ruined columns, colonnades and small figures giving scale, rendered in soft grey wash and stone-toned shading that a designer could borrow for vintage travel or archaeology layouts.
