Roberts, David, Croly, George · 1849 · 27 pictures

The Holy Land: Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia, volume three on Egypt and Nubia, is a lithographed travel book by David Roberts with text by George Croly, published in London in 1849 for an armchair readership interested in Near Eastern archaeology. Its pictures are tinted lithographs of Cairo's mosques, minarets, gateways and street life, drawn in warm sepia with careful architectural detail, offering a designer reference for Orientalist architecture, ornate stone screens, and crowded market scenes.
