David Roberts is considered one of the most expressive painters and historical record keepers of the nineteenth century, and The Holy Land and Egypt Et Nubia collects his portraits of two of the world's most eternally fascinating regions. In 1838, Roberts traveled from his native Scotland to the Holy Land and Egypt, where he created classic paintings of the monuments, cities, landscapes, and people. After his return to Scotland, lithographs of these 247 paintings were published in six volumes.

All 247 paintings are available again, with the original text, in a deluxe, oversized, slip-cased edition. Two hardcover volumes, with real cloth cases and ribbon markers feature all of Robert's work, spot varnished for luminosity. A third paperback volume details Robert's life travels. All three are showcased in a full color slip-case, with cloth spine.
