"Cairo Looking West" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts in the 19th century. Roberts, who was born in 1796 and passed away in 1864, is celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of the Middle East and North Africa. His works are particularly significant as they provide a visual record of these regions during a period of great historical and cultural interest.

The lithograph "Cairo Looking West" is part of Roberts' larger body of work that emerged from his extensive travels in the Middle East between 1838 and 1839. During this journey, Roberts meticulously sketched various landscapes, architectural marvels, and scenes of daily life, which he later transformed into lithographs upon his return to Britain. These works were published in the monumental series "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which consists of six volumes and was released between 1842 and 1849.

"Cairo Looking West" captures a panoramic view of Cairo, the capital of Egypt, as seen from an elevated vantage point. The lithograph is notable for its intricate detail and the way it conveys the bustling vibrancy of the city. In the foreground, one can observe the daily activities of Cairo's inhabitants, while the middle ground is dominated by the city's dense urban fabric, characterized by its distinctive Islamic architecture, including mosques with their towering minarets. The background features the majestic Pyramids of Giza, linking the contemporary cityscape with its ancient heritage.

Roberts' work is highly regarded not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value. His depictions provide insight into the architectural and cultural landscape of Cairo during the 19th century, a period when the city was undergoing significant transformations under Ottoman rule. "Cairo Looking West" remains a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of the Middle East, exemplifying Roberts' skill in capturing the essence of the places he visited.
