"St. Jean d'Acre, April 24th 1839, plate 65 from Volume II of The Holy Land" is an exquisite example of 19th-century lithographic art, engraved by the renowned Belgian artist Louis Haghe (1806-1885) and published in 1843 by David Roberts. This work is part of a larger series titled "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which is celebrated for its detailed and romanticized depictions of the Middle East during a period of significant Western interest in the region.

David Roberts, a Scottish painter, embarked on a grand tour of the Middle East in 1838-1839, meticulously documenting the landscapes, architecture, and daily life he encountered. His sketches and paintings were later transformed into lithographs by Louis Haghe, who was one of the most skilled lithographers of his time. Haghe's ability to translate Roberts' detailed and atmospheric sketches into lithographs was instrumental in the success and acclaim of the series.

The plate "St. Jean d'Acre, April 24th 1839" captures the historic port city of Acre, known as Akko in modern-day Israel. Acre has a rich history, having been a significant site during the Crusades and later under Ottoman rule. The lithograph likely depicts the city as it appeared during Roberts' visit, showcasing its fortifications, bustling port, and the Mediterranean Sea. The date, April 24th, 1839, indicates the specific day Roberts visited and sketched the scene, adding a layer of historical context to the artwork.

Roberts' and Haghe's collaboration resulted in a series that not only provided Western audiences with a visual journey through the Holy Land but also contributed to the 19th-century fascination with Orientalism. The lithographs were highly regarded for their artistic quality and their role in documenting the architecture and landscapes of regions that were, at the time, relatively unknown to many Europeans.

"St. Jean d'Acre, April 24th 1839" stands as a testament to the artistic and historical significance of Roberts' and Haghe's work, offering a glimpse into the past and preserving the visual heritage of a city that has been a crossroads of cultures for centuries.
