The Citadel of Cairo, from Egypt and Nubia, Vol.3 by David Roberts is a remarkable lithographic print that forms part of the larger collection of works by the renowned Scottish artist and traveler, David Roberts. Published in the mid-19th century, this volume is a testament to Roberts' extensive travels and his keen eye for capturing the architectural grandeur and cultural essence of the regions he visited. The Citadel of Cairo, specifically, is one of the most iconic images within this collection, showcasing the historic and strategic fortress that has dominated the skyline of Cairo for centuries.

David Roberts embarked on his journey to the Middle East in 1838, and his travels took him through Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Levant. His works are celebrated for their detailed and accurate depictions of the landscapes, monuments, and daily life of these regions. The Citadel of Cairo lithograph is no exception, offering a vivid portrayal of the fortress that was originally constructed by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) in the late 12th century to protect the city from Crusader attacks. Over the centuries, the Citadel has been expanded and modified by various rulers, becoming a symbol of Cairo's enduring historical and political significance.

Roberts' lithographs were produced with the assistance of lithographer Louis Haghe, whose skillful work ensured that the intricate details and vibrant colors of Roberts' original sketches were faithfully reproduced. The publication of Egypt and Nubia, Vol.3, along with its companion volumes, played a crucial role in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East during the 19th century. The Citadel of Cairo, in particular, stands out for its artistic merit and historical importance, capturing a moment in time when the ancient and the contemporary coexisted in the bustling metropolis of Cairo.
