[London, 1849]. . Original hand-coloured lithograph on fine paper mounted on card as issued from the subscription edition of Roberts' 'Egypt'. Some damage to the image. David Roberts' magnificent images of Egypt and the Holy Land rank amongst the finest topographical views of the nineteenth century.
