"Travels in the Holy Land" is a renowned series of lithographs that were produced from the original sketches by David Roberts (1796–1864), a Scottish painter who is especially known for his detailed and evocative landscapes of Egypt and the Near East. Roberts embarked on a long journey through the region in 1838, during which he meticulously documented the architecture, landscapes, and daily life he encountered. His journey took him through Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, the Holy Land, Jordan, and Lebanon.

Roberts's work was groundbreaking for its time, as it provided one of the first comprehensive visual records of the landscapes and monuments of the Near East to a Western audience. His depictions were celebrated for their accuracy and attention to detail, and they played a significant role in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East. The lithographs were produced with the collaboration of the skilled lithographer Louis Haghe, who was able to translate Roberts's detailed watercolors and drawings into print.

The collection of lithographs was published in a series of volumes titled "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia" from 1842 to 1849. Subscribers to the project received the prints in installments, which included detailed commentary on the depicted scenes. The works were an immediate success and were sought after by collectors and the general public alike, enhancing Roberts's reputation and securing his place in the canon of Orientalist art.

The impact of "Travels in the Holy Land" was profound, not only in the world of art but also in the burgeoning field of travel and exploration of the 19th century. The images served as an inspiration for travelers and were used as a reference by scholars and archaeologists. Today, Roberts's lithographs are considered important historical documents, as they capture a view of the Middle East that has since been altered by time, conflict, and development. They are held in high esteem both for their artistic merit and for their contribution to the historical record of the region's cultural heritage.
