ROBERTS, David (1796-1864)
The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia ... with historical descriptions by the Revd. George Croly; [with:] – Egypt and Nubia from drawings made on the spot ... with historical descriptions by William Brockedon. London: F.G. Moon, 1842-1849.
David Roberts' greatest work, the first edition of the artist's monumental depictions of the Middle East. Inspired by his love of artistic adventure Roberts departed for Alexandria in August 1839. For the rest of that year he visited Cairo and the neighbouring sites. In February 1840, set out across the Sinai for Palestine by way of Suez, Mount Sinai and Petra, arriving in Gaza, and then concluding his tour in Jerusalem. The publisher, F.G. Moon, paid Roberts £3,000 for the copyright of his sketches, and for his labour in supervising Louis Haghe's masterly lithography. Abbey Travel 272 and 385; cf. Tooley 401-2; cf. Blackmer 1432.

6 volumes, large folio (610 x 450mm). Mounted on guards throughout. Lithographic portrait of Roberts by C. Baugniet on india paper, 4 pp. list of subscribers, 2 engraved maps, 6 tinted lithographic titles with vignette illustrations and 241 plates lithographed by Louis Haghe after David Roberts (variable spotting and staining throughout, affecting vol. I of Egypt and Nubia more heavily, old repaired marginal tear to plate 113 ‘In the Slave Market at Cairo’ without loss). Contemporary red half morocco over red cloth-covered boards, spine in seven compartments with raised bands, lettered in gilt in the second and third, the other compartments with repeat decoration panelling in gilt and blind, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt (extremities lightly rubbed, more heavily to joints, head- and tailcaps and corners).
