A hand-coloured lithograph by Louis Haghe (1806-1885) after David Roberts RA RBA (1796-1864) depicting the ruins of an Ionic temple named Om El Hamed near Tyre. Roberts undertook a long tour in Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, the Holy Land, Jordan, and Lebanon from August 1838 to May 1839, when he would have drawn this scene. On his return to Britain, Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe from 1842 to 1849 to produce the lavishly illustrated plates of 'The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia', originally published as 'Sketches in the Holy Land and Syria', 1842-1849 and 'Egypt & Nubia' series. Presented in green and white mount with gold detailing and a distressed gilt frame with a bead course to the inner edge. Inscribed with the date, title, and signature of David Roberts in plate. There is an identical impression in the Wellcome Collection dated 1843. On wove.
Condition
