"Inscribed Entrance To Petra" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts in the mid-19th century. David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prolific painter and lithographer known for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites. His works are particularly celebrated for their accuracy and artistic merit, capturing the essence of the locations he visited during his extensive travels.

The lithograph "Inscribed Entrance To Petra" is part of Roberts' monumental series, "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which was published between 1842 and 1849. This series is considered one of the most significant collections of topographical art from the 19th century. Roberts embarked on a grand tour of the Middle East from 1838 to 1839, during which he meticulously sketched numerous sites, including the ancient city of Petra in present-day Jordan.

Petra, often referred to as the "Rose City" due to the color of the stone from which it is carved, is a historical and archaeological marvel. The city is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, and it was the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom. Roberts' lithograph captures the grandeur and mystery of Petra's entrance, which is inscribed with ancient texts and symbols. His attention to detail and use of light and shadow bring the scene to life, providing a glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty of this ancient site.

The lithographs were produced with the assistance of lithographer Louis Haghe, whose skillful work helped to translate Roberts' detailed sketches into vivid prints. These works were highly influential, contributing to Western understanding and appreciation of Middle Eastern culture and architecture during the 19th century. Roberts' "Inscribed Entrance To Petra" remains a valuable historical document and a testament to the artist's dedication to capturing the world's architectural heritage.
