"Egypt and Nubia" is a seminal work by the Scottish artist David Roberts, first published in 1846. This comprehensive collection of lithographs is renowned for its detailed and evocative depiction of the ancient monuments and landscapes of Egypt and Nubia, regions rich in historical and cultural significance. Roberts, who traveled extensively through Egypt and Nubia between 1838 and 1839, captured the essence of these ancient lands through his meticulous and vivid illustrations. His journey was part of a broader 19th-century European fascination with the Orient, spurred by the burgeoning field of Egyptology and the rediscovery of ancient civilizations.

The first volume of "Egypt and Nubia" features a series of lithographs that showcase the grandeur of Egyptian architecture, including iconic structures such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the temples of Luxor and Karnak. Roberts' work is distinguished by its accuracy and attention to detail, qualities that were enhanced by the lithographic process, which allowed for the mass production of his images. The lithographs were produced by Louis Haghe, a master lithographer, whose skillful rendering of Roberts' drawings ensured that the final prints retained the intricate details and atmospheric qualities of the original sketches.

Roberts' illustrations are accompanied by descriptive texts that provide historical context and insights into the significance of the depicted sites. These texts were often informed by the latest archaeological findings and scholarly research of the time, making "Egypt and Nubia" not only an artistic achievement but also an important scholarly resource. The work was well-received in its time and continues to be valued for its artistic and historical contributions, offering a window into the 19th-century European perspective on the ancient Near East.
