"The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia" is a monumental collection of lithographs by the Scottish artist David Roberts, first published between 1842 and 1849. This extensive work is renowned for its detailed and picturesque depictions of the Middle East and North Africa, regions that were largely unknown to the European public at the time. Roberts embarked on a grand tour of these areas from 1838 to 1839, meticulously sketching the landscapes, architectural marvels, and daily life he encountered. His journey took him through modern-day Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan.

Upon his return to Britain, Roberts collaborated with lithographer Louis Haghe to transform his sketches into hand-colored lithographs. The resulting images were published in six volumes, accompanied by descriptive text written by the Reverend George Croly. The work was released in subscription form, making it accessible to a wide audience and contributing significantly to the Western understanding and fascination with the Orient.

Roberts' illustrations are celebrated for their accuracy, artistic quality, and the romanticized vision they present of the ancient and contemporary scenes. They include iconic views such as the Pyramids of Giza, the ruins of Petra, the cityscape of Jerusalem, and the temples of Abu Simbel. The publication of "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia" not only established David Roberts' reputation as a leading Orientalist artist but also played a crucial role in shaping 19th-century European perceptions of the Middle East.

The work remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into the geography, architecture, and cultures of the regions depicted. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its contribution to the visual documentation of the 19th-century Middle East.
