Felix Adrien Bonfils (French, 1831-1885). "The Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem. "Albumin print. Published by ca. 1880. Photographer's number and credit in negative. This wonderful trio of finely framed works depicting landmarks in Israel begins with an antique photograph of the Dome of the Rock by French photographer and writer, Felix Adrien Bonfils, who was among the first photographers to capture landmarks of the Middle East. He worked with his wife and son at their studio known as "F. Bonfils et Cie" - Bonfils took photographs of Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Greece, Syria, and Constantinople (Istanbul). By 1880, he was one of the first photographers to employ a new photographic color printing technique known as Photochrom. He also published an album entitled, "Architecture Antique" (Ducher press) in 1872 and later would publish his most famous work "Souvenirs d'Orient". Size of Bonfils photo: 11" W x 8.5" H (27.9 cm x 21.6 cm); 17" W x 14.5" H (43.2 cm x 36.8 cm) framed.
David Roberts RA (Scottish, 1796-1864). "Jerusalem, from the Mount of Olives" and "Jerusalem, The Church of the Purification" lithographs with tint stone. Published: "London Published July 2nd 1855 by Day & Son, 17, Gate Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields" below the image. Both signed David Roberts R.A. in the plate.
Joining the Bonfils photograph are two beautiful framed lithographs of Jerusalem, one depicting a view from the Mount of Olives and the other presenting the Church of the Purification. David Roberts, a prominent Orientalist painter, is known for a series of prints depicting images of Egypt and the Near East created during the 1840s from the sketches he made while traveling in the region (1838-1840) as well as his large-scale oil paintings. In 1841, he was elected as a Royal Academician.
Day & Haghe was among the most respected lithographic companies of the nineteenth-century. In addition, they were pioneers of chromolithography. Established in 1823 by William Day, the firm became known as Day & Haghe upon the arrival of Louis Haghe in 1831. In 1838, Day & Haghe were named Lithographers to the Queen. In the 1850s, Haghe left the firm to pursue watercolor painting. The firm then continued under the moniker of Day & Son under the direction of William Day the younger (1823 - 1906) and eventually liquidated due to a scandal involving Lajos Kossuth. That year Vincent Brookes bought the company; he would produce the caricatures for Gibson Bowles' Vanity Fair magazine, as well as the illustrations for Cassells's Poultry Book.
