Summary:

David Roberts is considered one of the most expressive painters and historical record keepers of the nineteenth century, and The Holy Land and Egypt Et Nubia collects his portraits of two of the world's most eternally fascinating regions. In 1838, Roberts travelled from his native Scotland to the Holy Land and Egypt, where he created classic paintings of the monuments, cities, landscapes, and people. After his return to Scotland, lithographs of these 247 paintings were published in six volumes.
