"Thebes" by David Roberts is a renowned series of lithographs that captures the grandeur and historical significance of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes. Created during the mid-19th century, these works are part of Roberts' larger collection, "Egypt and Nubia," which was published between 1846 and 1849. David Roberts, a Scottish painter, embarked on a journey to the Near East in 1838, where he meticulously documented the architectural and cultural marvels of the region through his detailed sketches and paintings.

Thebes, known in ancient times as Waset, was one of the most prominent cities of ancient Egypt, serving as a religious and political hub. Roberts' lithographs of Thebes include depictions of its most iconic structures, such as the temples of Karnak and Luxor, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Valley of the Kings. His works are celebrated for their accuracy, artistic detail, and the ability to convey the majestic scale of these ancient monuments.

Roberts' journey to Thebes and his subsequent works were part of a broader 19th-century European fascination with Egyptology, spurred by the decipherment of the Rosetta Stone and increased archaeological exploration. His lithographs played a significant role in bringing the wonders of ancient Egypt to the European public, contributing to the growing interest and scholarly study of Egyptian antiquities.

The lithographs were produced with the assistance of lithographer Louis Haghe, whose skillful rendering of Roberts' drawings ensured that the final prints retained the intricate details and atmospheric qualities of the original sketches. Today, "Thebes" by David Roberts remains a valuable historical and artistic record, offering insights into the splendor of ancient Egyptian civilization and the 19th-century European perspective on these timeless monuments.
