"Egypt and Nubia, Vol.1" by David Roberts is a seminal work that captures the grandeur and mystique of ancient Egyptian and Nubian monuments through a series of detailed lithographs and accompanying text. Published in the mid-19th century, this volume is part of a larger collection that documents Roberts' travels and observations during his expedition to the Near East between 1838 and 1839. Among the most notable illustrations in this volume is the depiction of the Obelisk at Luxor, a monumental granite structure that stands as a testament to the architectural and engineering prowess of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Obelisk at Luxor, originally one of a pair, was erected at the entrance of the Luxor Temple during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BCE. Standing at approximately 23 meters (75 feet) tall and weighing around 227 tons, this obelisk is adorned with intricate hieroglyphs that celebrate the military victories and divine heritage of Ramesses II. The obelisk's twin was gifted to France in 1833 and now stands in the Place de la Concorde in Paris, serving as a cultural bridge between Egypt and the Western world.

Roberts' illustration of the Obelisk at Luxor is not merely an artistic endeavor but also an important historical document. His meticulous attention to detail and accuracy provides invaluable insights into the condition and context of the monument during the 19th century. The lithographs were produced by Louis Haghe, one of the leading lithographers of the time, ensuring that the visual representation was both precise and evocative.

The publication of "Egypt and Nubia, Vol.1" played a crucial role in igniting Western interest in Egyptology and the study of ancient civilizations. Roberts' work remains a cornerstone for historians, archaeologists, and art enthusiasts, offering a window into the past and preserving the legacy of one of humanity's greatest architectural achievements.
