About this Item
Description:
360 x 490 mm., early wash colour, in good condition. This image is arguably one of the most famous by David Roberts (1796-1864). It illustrates the Sphinx with a large evocative setting sun in the background. In the foreground are men with camels and an approaching caravan. It was published in Roberts' 'Egypt and Nubia' published 1846-9. He was the first British artist to sketch the monuments of Egypt. The lithographic stones were the work of Louis Haghe (1806-85) and were supposedly destroyed at the auction of final stock of prints. Abbey Travel 272.114; Tooley (1954) 402. Seller Inventory # 8276
