description: David Roberts was the first British painter to make an artistic expedition to Egypt and the Holy Land. The result of his travels was a picturesque vision of the Near East that has been hugely influential ever since. Nearly 200 years later, his work is held in institutions such as the Library of Congress in Washington and London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.The Folio Society limited edition of The Holy Land and Egypt and Nubia, which replicated the size of the original edition, was enormously popular and quickly sold out. To make this magniﬁcent collection available to a wider audience, we have published this fine edition, which brings together all 247 lithographs in a smaller format.2 magnificent volumes measuring 14¾" x 10¾"Bound in cloth and blocked with designs by Neil GowerGilded top edges, ribbon markerPresented in individual slipcasesThe Holy Land: Syria, Idumea and Arabia296 pages, including 123 plates, portrait of Roberts and mapEgypt and Nubia272 pages, including 124 plates and map
