"Interior of the Temple at Esna, Upper Egypt" is a notable lithograph by the Scottish artist David Roberts, derived from his travels in Egypt and the Near East. This artwork is part of the first volume of his three-volume set titled "Egypt and Nubia," which was published in parts between 1842 and 1849. The volumes comprise a series of detailed and vivid lithographs that were produced from the original sketches Roberts made during his journey through the region in 1838-1839.

The lithograph captures the intricate details of the Temple of Khnum at Esna, a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian architecture and art. The temple, dedicated to the ram-headed god Khnum, is known for its well-preserved hypostyle hall and the elaborate hieroglyphic inscriptions on its columns and ceiling. Roberts's work is significant for its historical and artistic value, as it documents the temple's interior at a time when Egyptology was in its infancy and contributes to the visual record of Egypt's monumental heritage in the 19th century.

Roberts's journey was one of the first instances where an artist documented these ancient sites in situ, and his works played a crucial role in introducing the British public to the wonders of Egypt and Nubia. The lithographs were produced with the collaboration of the skilled lithographer Louis Haghe, who translated Roberts's detailed sketches into the final prints. "Interior of the Temple at Esna, Upper Egypt" stands as a testament to the collaboration between artist and lithographer, and to the enduring fascination with Egypt's ancient civilization.

The "Egypt and Nubia" series was well-received in its time and continues to be celebrated for its artistic excellence and historical significance. The works, including "Interior of the Temple at Esna, Upper Egypt," are considered important contributions to Orientalist art and remain influential in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East and North Africa. Roberts's lithographs are held in high esteem by collectors and are often featured in exhibitions that explore the intersection of art, archaeology, and 19th-century travel.
