Black half-morocco; spine with raised bands; title, author and printed in gold letters on the spine; green percaline cloth delimited by a double gold fillet. Elegant French binding with the plates mounted on hinges (sur onglets) with fresh paper guards for each plate.Volume 1 : 1 portrait, 1 title frontispiece and 43 tinted lithographs including 21 hors texteVolume 2 : 1 title frontispiece and 43 tinted lithographs including 21 hors texte.Table of plates for the three volumes in volume 1.Original edition of the first two volumes concerning the Holy Land (without the 3 following ones announced in the title). They appeared in issues between 1842 and 1845. Copy with the tinted lithographs mounted on strong paper. According to Abbey (Travel, 385), this set constitutes one of the most important publishing ventures of this kind in the 19th century, and the apotheosis of tinted lithography. The illustrations by David Roberts (1796-1864), who stayed in the region from 1830, are finely interpreted in lithography by Louis Haghe (1806-1885), who here signs his most monumental work. It is one of the most beautiful illustrated works published in the Holy Land.The first two volumes alone are very complete with their plates.References:Travel In Aquatint And Lithography 1770-1860 From The Library of J.R. Abbey . A Bibliographical Catalogue Volume II (repr. 1991), no. 385, p.334-41 [describing a 3-vol. issue, 1842, 1843, 1849, but referring to an earlier 2-vol. issue]; R.V.

Twyman, Lithography 1800-1850 (1970), esp. p.220-5.Summary Note:The publication-date of 1842 is given on the title-page of Volume I. Plate [5] carries no date, but all other plates carry dates within 1841 May - July (pl. 1-4, 6-12, 14, 24, 26), or 1842 July - December (pl. [113, 15-23]), apart from the last plate, which carries the date of June 1 1844. The frontispiece portrait also carries the date of 1844 (and an additional plate, possibly bound in this volume in error, carries the date of Jan 1 1845). The in-text illustrations also carry dates, most ranging from May 1 1841 to Nov 1 1842 but the last carrying the date of Jany 1 1845.The publication-date of 1843 is given on the title-plate of Volume 2. Its plates carry dates ranging from November 1 1842 to December 1 1843 (pl. 1, 2, 4-13, 15, 18) but also from May 1 to November 1 1844 (pl. 3, 14, 16, 17, 19-29, 30-33) and January 1 1845 (pl. 31, 34). The in-text illustrations carry dates ranging from November 1 1842 (pl.2) to September 18 1843 (pl. 1, 3-15), but also 1844 (pl. 16-30, 32-34) and January 1 1845 (pl. 31, 35).Abbey states that the work was originally published between January 1842 and the end of 1845 in twenty parts, in eighteen wrappers, containing all the plates and illustrations described above - a map was added in later issues. Although 'Egypt, & Nubia' are mentioned on the title-plates, the three volumes devoted to those regions were published separately as Egypt & Nubia From Drawings made On The Spot By David Roberts R.A. . (1846, 1849, 1849).The plates of Volume I show views in Jerusalem, Petra, Bethlehem, Bethany, Jericho and Jordan Valley. The last plate shows a view of Suez. The additional plate (separated from its text, in Vol. 2) shows an approach to Mt. Sinai.The plates in the second volume show Judaea (the Jordan, Jericho, Mar Saba monastery, Wilderness of Engadi), Beit Jibrin, Hebron, Askelon, Ashdod, Gaza, Lydda, Jaffa, Mt. Carmel, Ramla, St. Jean D'Acre, Cape Blanco, Tyre, Sarepta, Sidon, Baalbec, Jenin, Mt. Tabor; Galilee (Nazareth, Cana, Tiberias), Nablous (Shechem), Sebaste (Samaria), Akabah, Sinai (Monastery of St. Catherine, Mt. Horeb).Abbey describes Roberts's Holy Land as 'one of the most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing, and it was the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph' and 'a technical feat on the part of Louis Haghe'. (Ruskin thought that Roberts's fidelity to his subjects was of a kind inevitably surpassed by photography.)David Roberts's painting, 'The Gateway to the Great Temple at Baalbec' (corresponding to pl. [18] of Volume 2 of the present publication), was donated to the Royal Academy as his 'diploma work' on his accepting membership of the Academy in 1841.

Contemporary decorative publishers' cloth, expertly rebacked, spine in six raised compartments gilt bands and gilt tooling within gilt lines, all edges gilt. , In 1838 Roberts made a long tour in the East, and accumulated a vast collection of sketches of Middle Eastern scenery which had been hardly touched by British artists before, and which appealed to the public with all the charm of novelty. The next ten years of his life were mainly spent in elaborating these materials. In February of 1839 he traveled to the Holy Land via Suez, Mount Sinai and Petra arriving in Gaza, and then on to Jerusalem. He ended his tour by spending several months visiting the biblical sites of the Holy Land, and finally returning to England at the end of 1839. An extensive series of drawings was lithographed by Louis Haghe in Sketches in the Holy Land and Syria, 1842-1849. , Size : Large folio., Complete with 60 full page and 60 half-page finely hand coloured lithographic plates, all after paintings and drawings made on the spot by artist David Roberts., Volume : 3 volumes in 2.
