David Roberts: Travels in Egypt & the Holy Land Debra N. Mancoff; David Roberts
In 1838, British artist David Roberts (1796-1864) embarked on a journey that would shape Europe’s perception of the Middle East. Nurtured on Bible stories and tales of the exotic Orient, Roberts had always dreamed of exploring the Holy Land, though travel there was an arduous, dangerous undertaking. While he set himself the goal of bringing home an accurate visual record, he returned with a portfolio of hand-tinted lithographs that lost nothing of romanticism. His use of light, color, and atmosphere lent an aura of exoticism to his realistic view. Beautifully presented and reasonably priced, with 64 color reproductions and lucid, lively text, Travels in Egypt and the Holy Land evokes the moment in history when the European and Middle Eastern cultures discovered one another. By Debra Mancoff.128 pages, 64 color illustrations, size: 11 1/2 x 8 7/8″. Paperbound book, smythe-sewn, with flaps.condition info: Has a sturdy binding with some shelf wear.
