The convent of St. Catherine Mount Sinai Feb 21st 1839, Louis Haghe / David Roberts "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia"

---

From 1838 to 1840, English painter David Roberts traveled 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, 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 easy download. There may be variations in color or detail due to editing.
