Modern Cairo Mansion, Arabesque, Roberts/Haghe Art Poster

Modern mansion, showing the arabesque architecture. - From 1838 to 1840, English painter David Roberts travelled throughout Egypt from Alexandria to Abu Simbel and through Sinai to Petra, Jerusalem, Palestine, and Lebanon. Based on his sketches and paintings, Belgian engraver Louis Haghe produced hundreds of lithographs engraved on stone, published as The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia (1842-1846) and Egypt and Nubia (1846-1849). While digital copies are widely available, they are often smaller or in a hard to use format (or else rough, blurry and dirty). This collection is from unedited TIF (TIFF) originals on file in the Library of Congress. These here are cropped, cleaned up of any glaring dirtiness, preserved in high resolution TIF, and then converted to JPEG for use on Zazzle. There may be variations in colour or detail due to editing. See all these Roberts / Haghe works collected in this Zazzle store in this category (HOLY LAND, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia).
