"Ruins of the Temple of Kom Ombo, from Egypt and Nubia, Vol.1" is a notable lithograph by the Scottish artist David Roberts, which forms part of his larger work, "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia". Published between 1842 and 1849, this collection is celebrated for its detailed and picturesque representations of the landscapes, architecture, and daily life in the Near East and North Africa, as witnessed by Roberts during his travels in the region from 1838 to 1839. The "Ruins of the Temple of Kom Ombo" specifically captures the majestic remnants of the ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the gods Sobek and Horus, located in Upper Egypt's Nubian desert.

Roberts' work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to architectural detail and its ability to convey the grandeur and decay of the ancient monuments he encountered. His journey through Egypt, in particular, yielded some of the most striking images of the series, with the Kom Ombo temple being a prime example. The temple, known for its unique double design, which symmetrically accommodates two sets of sanctuaries, halls, and rooms for its two gods, is depicted in a state of elegant ruin, evoking a sense of romantic desolation that was popular among European audiences of the time.

The lithographs, including "Ruins of the Temple of Kom Ombo," were produced under Roberts' supervision by the skilled lithographer Louis Haghe, whose technique and sensitivity to Roberts' original sketches added a dynamic quality to the prints, enhancing their artistic and commercial success. This collaboration resulted in images that not only served as important records of archaeological and architectural interest but also captivated the Victorian public's imagination, fueling the era's fascination with Egyptology and the broader Orient.

"Ruins of the Temple of Kom Ombo, from Egypt and Nubia, Vol.1" stands as a testament to David Roberts' pioneering role in the field of travel art and his contribution to the visual documentation of Egypt's ancient heritage. The work remains an invaluable resource for historians, archaeologists, and art enthusiasts, offering insight into the early nineteenth-century European perspective on Egypt's past and its enduring allure.
