"Fortress Of Akabah, Arabia Petraea" is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts in the mid-19th century. This artwork is part of Roberts' extensive collection of lithographs that document his travels throughout the Middle East and North Africa, regions that were relatively unknown to the Western world at the time. Roberts embarked on his journey in 1838, and his works were later published in a series titled "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which gained widespread acclaim for their detailed and picturesque representations of these distant lands.

The lithograph depicts the Fortress of Aqaba, located in what is now modern-day Jordan. Aqaba, historically known as Ayla, has been a significant strategic and commercial hub due to its location at the northeastern tip of the Red Sea. The fortress itself has a rich history, having been built and rebuilt by various civilizations, including the Nabataeans, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. Roberts' depiction captures the imposing structure of the fortress against the stark, arid landscape, highlighting both its architectural grandeur and its isolation.

Roberts' work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the atmosphere of the locations he visited. His lithographs were produced with the assistance of lithographer Louis Haghe, whose skillful rendering of Roberts' original sketches ensured that the final prints retained the vibrancy and precision of the artist's vision. "Fortress Of Akabah, Arabia Petraea" is a testament to Roberts' dedication to capturing the essence of the places he explored, offering viewers a window into the historical and cultural significance of the Middle Eastern and North African regions during the 19th century.
