THIS SET COVERS ONLY THE HOLY LAND. The most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing. David Roberts was born at Stockbridge near Edinburgh, and at the age of ten apprenticed to house painter Gavin Buego. After his apprenticeship he continued to work for Buego carrying out work on imitation stone-work and panelling at Scone Palace and Abercairney Abbey. By 1818 Roberts had become assistant scene painter at the Pantheon Theatre in Edinburgh, moving on to theatres in Glasgow, and finally in 1821 to Drury Lane Theatre in London, where he worked with Clarkson Stanfield. Both artists exhibited at the Society of British Artists, Royal Academy and British Institution, and by 1830 Roberts was firmly established as a topographical artist and was able to give up his theatre work. In these early years he toured the Continent and Scotland, and in 1832-1833 visited Spain. In 1838, he made plans for his journey to the Near East, inspired by a love of artistic adventure. Departing in August 1839 for Alexandria, he spent the remaining part of the year in Cairo, visiting the numerous tombs and sites. In February of the following year he set out to cross the desert for the Holy Land by way of Suez, Mount Sinai, and Petra, arriving in Gaza, and then on to Jerusalem, concluding his tour visiting the biblical sites of the Holy Land for several months. He returned to England at the end of 1839. The drawings of his tour were submitted to F.G. Moon in 1840, who arranged to bring out a work illustrative of Scripture history, paying Roberts £3,000 for the copyright of the sketches, and for his labour in supervising Louis Haghes lithography. "In no other publication have the sites and buildings famous in sacred history and Eastern legend been so vividly represented. It is difficult to speak in sufficiently high terms of the beauty and interest of the varied subjects in this great work. It represents the results of Robertss travels in the East during the years 1838 and 1839. The extraordinary merit and interest of the drawings which he exhibited on his return created a great sensation. The fidelity of his accurate pencil, his skilful adherence to truth of costume and surroundings, his attention to characteristic effect in architecture and landscape, won immediate recognition and praise. Commissions from royal and other patrons of art crowded upon him for pictures of his Eastern subjects, and a publisher, F. G. Moon, was soon found to undertake their reproduction for wider circulation. The result was the present work with about two hundred and fifty plates.

Edition : First Edition., Contemporary black half morocco over pebbled cloth boards, spine gilt-lettered. , It is considered "the most ambitious and impressive of English books illustrated with lithographs" (Ray), this set transports the viewer to exotic Egypt and Nubia through the eyes of prolific Orientalist painter David Roberts. After moving to London in the 1820s to continue his career in theatrical scene-painting, Roberts began to exhibit his fine art paintings to critical accord and joined the Royal Academy in 1841. He embarked on a tour of the Middle East in 1838, returning home with numerous sketches from his adventure. Belgian engraver Louis Haghe produced a total of 248 lithographs based on Roberts' series of watercolors (after the sketches), which were originally published in monthly parts forming two commercially successful series: The Holy Land (1842-5) and Egypt and Nubia (1846-9)."Roberts's Holy Land was of the most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing, and it was the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph . there is pleasure to be had from many of the individual plates, where Haghe's skillful and delicate lithography, and his faithful interpretation of Robert's draughtsmanship and dramatic sense, combine in what are undoubtedly remarkable examples of tinted lithographic work" (Abbey). Roberts' attention to detail and texture, as well as his ability to evoke a sense of the epic or nostalgic must surely be attributed to his early jobs painting trompe l'oeil stonework and paneling and as a scenic painter for the theater. Even Ruskin praised his "absolutely careful and faithful" panoramas (Abbey). From the daily lives of modern Egyptians attending mosque prayers and shopping at the bazaar to glorious ancient ruins rising from desert sands, Roberts' emotive landscapes captured the hearts and imaginations of the British public. , Size : Folio (605 x 426 mm). , 3 titles with lithographed vignettes and 121 tinted lithographed plates by Louis Haghe after drawings by Roberts, and a map. , Volume : 3 volumes, Herbert Watney M.D., Buckhold, Berks (bookplates)., References : Abbey Travel 272; Ray 88; Tooley 402 A near fine set, text and plates are clean and crisp.…

They appeared in issues between 1842 and 1845. Copy with the tinted lithographs mounted on strong paper. According to Abbey (Travel, 385), this set constitutes one of the most important publishing ventures of this kind in the 19th century, and the apotheosis of tinted lithography. The illustrations by David Roberts (1796-1864), who stayed in the region from 1830, are finely interpreted in lithography by Louis Haghe (1806-1885), who here signs his most monumental work. It is one of the most beautiful illustrated works published in the Holy Land.The first two volumes alone are very complete with their plates.References:Travel In Aquatint And Lithography 1770-1860 From The Library of J.R.

Plate [5] carries no date, but all other plates carry dates within 1841 May - July (pl. 1-4, 6-12, 14, 24, 26), or 1842 July - December (pl. [113, 15-23]), apart from the last plate, which carries the date of June 1 1844. The frontispiece portrait also carries the date of 1844 (and an additional plate, possibly bound in this volume in error, carries the date of Jan 1 1845). The in-text illustrations also carry dates, most ranging from May 1 1841 to Nov 1 1842 but the last carrying the date of Jany 1 1845.The publication-date of 1843 is given on the title-plate of Volume 2. Its plates carry dates ranging from November 1 1842 to December 1 1843 (pl. 1, 2, 4-13, 15, 18) but also from May 1 to November 1 1844 (pl. 3, 14, 16, 17, 19-29, 30-33) and January 1 1845 (pl. 31, 34). The in-text illustrations carry dates ranging from November 1 1842 (pl.2) to September 18 1843 (pl. 1, 3-15), but also 1844 (pl. 16-30, 32-34) and January 1 1845 (pl. 31, 35).Abbey states that the work was originally published between January 1842 and the end of 1845 in twenty parts, in eighteen wrappers, containing all the plates and illustrations described above - a map was added in later issues. Although 'Egypt, & Nubia' are mentioned on the title-plates, the three volumes devoted to those regions were published separately as Egypt & Nubia From Drawings made On The Spot By David Roberts R.A. . (1846, 1849, 1849).The plates of Volume I show views in Jerusalem, Petra, Bethlehem, Bethany, Jericho and Jordan Valley. The last plate shows a view of Suez. The additional plate (separated from its text, in Vol. 2) shows an approach to Mt. Sinai.The plates in the second volume show Judaea (the Jordan, Jericho, Mar Saba monastery, Wilderness of Engadi), Beit Jibrin, Hebron, Askelon, Ashdod, Gaza, Lydda, Jaffa, Mt. Carmel, Ramla, St. Jean D'Acre, Cape Blanco, Tyre, Sarepta, Sidon, Baalbec, Jenin, Mt. Tabor; Galilee (Nazareth, Cana, Tiberias), Nablous (Shechem), Sebaste (Samaria), Akabah, Sinai (Monastery of St. Catherine, Mt. Horeb).Abbey describes Roberts's Holy Land as 'one of the most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing, and it was the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph' and 'a technical feat on the part of Louis Haghe'. (Ruskin thought that Roberts's fidelity to his subjects was of a kind inevitably surpassed by photography.)David Roberts's painting, 'The Gateway to the Great Temple at Baalbec' (corresponding to pl. [18] of Volume 2 of the present publication), was donated to the Royal Academy as his 'diploma work' on his accepting membership of the Academy in 1841.…

Edition : First Edition. , Contemporary cloth boards, rebacked tastefully with six raised bands and extensive gilt tooling., Text in English.The Scottish painter David Roberts RA, 1796 ? 1864, is perhaps best known for his oil paintings and lithograph prints of the Near and Middle East after his visit to the region during 1838?1840. During the second part of the 1820s, and in addition to English and Scottish scenes, Roberts painted views of prominent buildings in France and the Low Countries. By 1829 he was working full-time as a fine artist, exhibited the ?Departure of the Israelites from Egypt?, in which his style first became apparent. In 1831, the Society of British Artists elected him as their president and finally, in 1832, he began his travels to Spain and Tangiers. He returned at the end of 1833 with a supply of sketches that he elaborated into attractive and popular paintings. The British Institution exhibited his Interior of Seville Cathedral in 1834? He executed a fine series of Spanish illustrations for the Landscape Annual of 1836. Then in 1837 a selection of his ?Picturesque Sketches in Spain? was produced using lithography thus creating the present first edition work. Abbey writes: ?He in fact worked on every stone, the figures in many of them being entirely in his own drawing; ?some? of the stones he erased entirely, so that the work took him seven months, instead of two. ? During this time, J.M.W. Turner managed to persuade him to abandon scene painting and devote himself to becoming a full-time artist. Thus, in 1838, Roberts started on his tour of Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, the Holy Land, Jordan and Lebanon producing a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches. Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe from 1842 to 1849 to produce illustrated plates from these sketches. In 1851 and 1853, Roberts visited Italy. His last volume of illustrations, ?Italy, Classical, Historical and Picturesque?, was published in 1859. Roberts executed, by command of Queen Victoria, a picture of the opening of the Great Exhibition of 1851. In 1858 Roberts was presented with the freedom of the city of Edinburgh. The last years of his life were occupied with a series of views of London from the Thames. In 1838 Roberts made a long tour in the East, and accumulated a vast collection of sketches of Middle Eastern scenery which had been hardly touched by British artists before, and which appealed to the public with all the charm of novelty. The next ten years of his life were mainly spent in elaborating these materials. In February of 1839 he traveled to the Holy Land via Suez, Mount Sinai and Petra arriving in Gaza, and then on to Jerusalem. He ended his tour by spending several months visiting the biblical sites of the Holy Land, and finally returning to England at the end of 1839. An extensive series of drawings was lithographed by Louis Haghe in Sketches in the Holy Land and Syria, 1842-1849. Generally accepted as the finest illustrated work on the Near East, Major Abbey considered this set to be "one of the most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing, and the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph . there is pleasure to be had from many of the individual plates, where Haghe's skillful and delicate lithography, and his faithful interpretation of Robert's draughtsmanship and dramatic sense, combine in what are undoubtedly remarkable examples of tinted lithographic work." Roberts' attention to detail and texture, as well as his ability to evoke a sense of the epic or nostalgic must surely be attributed to his early jobs painting trompe l'oeil stonework and paneling and as a scenic painter for the theater. Even Ruskin praised his "absolutely careful and faithful" panoramas. , Size : Elephant folio (604 x 430, Illustrated with one (1) lithographed frontispiece portrait of Roberts by C.

Edges worn, front hinge open; paper a bit toned but overall internally near fine.Henry Vizetelly, Printer and engraver, Gough Square, Fleet Street"Plates engraved by Louis Marvy; after Sir Augustus Wall Callcott, J.M.W.

Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848. Theodore Taylor's 1864 biography of Thackeray mentions the history of the book: "A fine and skillful landscape painter himself, M. Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32). An interesting and quite scarce Thackeray item, very rarely found colored.Abbey, Life in England, no 207 : "The majority of the copies issued were uncoloured.".…
