"Principal mosque at Boulak" is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned Scottish artist David Roberts in the mid-19th century. Roberts, who was born in 1796 and passed away in 1864, is celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites across Europe and the Middle East. His works are particularly noted for their accuracy and artistic merit, capturing the essence of the locations he visited during his extensive travels.

This particular lithograph is part of Roberts' larger body of work that focuses on Egypt and the Near East, a region he explored extensively during his travels from 1838 to 1839. The "Principal mosque at Boulak" showcases Roberts' exceptional ability to render architectural details with precision and his keen eye for the interplay of light and shadow. Boulak, a district in Cairo, Egypt, was an area of significant historical and cultural importance, and Roberts' depiction provides a valuable visual record of its architectural heritage during the 19th century.

Roberts' journey to Egypt was part of a broader trend of Orientalism in European art, where artists and scholars sought to document and romanticize the cultures and landscapes of the Middle East. His works, including "Principal mosque at Boulak," were published in the monumental series "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which consisted of six volumes released between 1842 and 1849. These volumes were highly influential and remain important references for both art historians and scholars of Middle Eastern studies.

The lithographs were produced with the assistance of lithographer Louis Haghe, whose skillful work helped bring Roberts' detailed sketches to life. The collaboration between Roberts and Haghe resulted in some of the most admired and enduring images of 19th-century Orientalist art. "Principal mosque at Boulak" stands as a testament to Roberts' artistic legacy and his contribution to the visual documentation of historical architecture.
