Europe, United Kingdom, ca. 2010 CE; original work published in 1847-49 CE, by David Roberts (1796–1864) and lithographed by Louis Haghe (1806–1885).

Printed by Editoriale Bortolazzi, Verona, on heavyweight Gardapat Kiara paper, each is presented in a hand-made slipcase bound in cloth and lined with colored paper, with inserts in the bases to support the weight of the books. Size of one: 13.75" W x 20" H (34.9 cm x 50.8 cm)
Roberts, from Edinburgh, was the first professional artist from Europe to visit the Near East without connection to a military expedition or missionary group. In 1838, he sailed to Alexandria and traveled up the Nile River, through Egypt and then to the Holy Land, arriving in Jerusalem for Easter the following year. He also traveled into Lebanon and Beirut. He produced 247 lithographs from his travels based on extensive notes, sketches, and watercolors he made during the journey. Louis Haghe, one of the greatest lithographers of his time, produced these. John Ruskin described these as, "true portraiture of scenes of historical and religious interest. They are faithful and laborious beyond any outlines from nature I have ever seen."
