AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Worshippers at the Stone of Unction in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, Israel. Coloured lithograph by Louis Haghe after David Roberts, 1841.
David Roberts truly introduced the western world to Egypt and the Middle East through this work. The lithographs were produced from his on-site drawings of temples, landscapes, and historic monuments. He was the first Westerner granted permission to enter many of the sacred mosques or monuments. He completed his sketches over an 11 month journey between 1838 and 1839. --- â Robertsâ Holy Land has a worldwide reputation; nothing of a similar character has ever been produced that can bear a comparison
