Item description from seller

A new set, with each of the three volumes still sealed in publisher's clear wrap. Note that this is a heavy and oversized set, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~KK~ [14.0P] A high-quality, limited edition facsimile reprint of the 1855-56 first quarto edition of this seminal 19th-century publication, renowned for its accurate and extensive hand-colored lithographs of Near Eastern landscapes, monuments and people. As the first independent, professional artist to extensively document the region, Roberts? work provided unprecedented visual insights into biblical sites, and is considered a masterpiece of Victorian travel illustration. Living in a period that saw increased British interest in travel and archaeology in the Middle East, Roberts (1796-1864) planned a painting expedition that would last from 1838-39. Roberts was the first professional artist to visit the Near East without a patron or a connection to a military expedition or missionary group. Landing in Egypt, he passed through Suez, Mount Sinai, Petra, Gaza, Jerusalem, Dead Sea, the Lake of Tiberias, the ruins of Baalbek, and Alexandra, documenting the ancient monuments and foreign locales he saw along the way. Robert?s previous career as a house and theatrical scenic painter (before becoming a topographical artist) is evinced by the highly detailed and theatrical nature of these illustrations, which enmesh orientalist sentiment with architectural accuracy. Upon his return to England, Roberts found a publisher in Francis Graham Moon. Together they sought subscribers to fund their luxurious production by hosting displays of the primary watercolors; Queen Victoria would become a supporter of the project. The prolific Louis Haghe would be responsible for all 250 lithographs reproducing Robert?s picturesque scenes.
