Description: DAVID ROBERTS: TRAVEL IN EGYPT & THE HOLY LAND DEBRA N. MANCOFF 1999 1st ED VG+ In 1838, British artist David Roberts (1796-1864) became a wanderer on a journey that changed Europe's perception of the Middle East. Roberts had dreamed of exploring the Holy Land, though travel there was difficult and dangerous. His goal was to create an accurate visual record, but he came back with a portfolio of hand-tinted lithographs expressing romanticism. He used light, color and atmosphere to provide exoticism to his realistic view. Beautifully rendered with 64 color reproductions and lively text, “Travels in Egypt & the Holy Land” brings back the moment in history when European and Middle Eastern cultures discovered one another. Written by Debra Mancoff of the Library of Congress, it is 128 pages long with 64 color illustrations, size: 11.5 inches by almost 9 inches, the paperback book on fine quality paper was published by Pomegranate and is smythe-sewn, with flaps.
