This particular lithograph is part of Roberts' larger collection titled "Egypt and Nubia," which was published between 1846 and 1849.

The image portrays a ceremonial procession in front of the historic tombs of the caliphs, which are part of the larger necropolis known as the City of the Dead in Cairo. These tombs are significant as they house the remains of various Islamic rulers and are an important part of Cairo's architectural heritage. Roberts' attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the tombs' facades, the lively crowd, and the atmospheric effects that convey the heat and light of the Egyptian environment.
Roberts' work is highly regarded for its contribution to the Western understanding and appreciation of Middle Eastern culture and architecture during the 19th century. His lithographs were widely disseminated and admired, influencing both contemporary and later perceptions of the regions he depicted. "Procession Before The Tombs Of The Caliphs, Grand Cairo" remains a significant piece within Roberts' oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in combining artistic beauty with documentary precision.
