"Petra looking South, March 9th 1839, plate 106 from Volume III of The Holy Land" is an exquisite piece of 19th-century lithographic art, engraved by the renowned Belgian artist Louis Haghe (1806-1885) and published in 1849 by the Scottish painter David Roberts (1796-1864). This work is part of Roberts' monumental series "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which is celebrated for its detailed and romanticized depictions of the Middle East.

David Roberts embarked on a journey to the Middle East in 1838, driven by a fascination with the region's historical and biblical significance. His travels took him through Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Levant, where he meticulously sketched the landscapes, architecture, and people he encountered. These sketches served as the foundation for his later works, which were transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, one of the most skilled lithographers of the time.

"Petra looking South, March 9th 1839" captures a view of the ancient city of Petra, located in present-day Jordan. Petra, known for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, was the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The lithograph presents a sweeping vista of the city's rugged terrain, with its iconic sandstone cliffs and tombs carved directly into the rock face. The meticulous detail and dramatic use of light and shadow in the engraving highlight the grandeur and mystique of this archaeological marvel.

Roberts' and Haghe's collaboration resulted in a series of works that not only provided a visual record of the Middle East during the 19th century but also influenced Western perceptions of the region. Their lithographs were widely acclaimed for their artistic merit and historical accuracy, making "The Holy Land" series a valuable resource for scholars and art enthusiasts alike.

"Petra looking South, March 9th 1839" stands as a testament to the enduring allure of Petra and the skillful artistry of Roberts and Haghe. It remains a significant piece within the broader context of 19th-century Orientalist art, reflecting the period's fascination with the exotic and the ancient.
