About the Item

David Roberts R.A. 1796 - 1864 CALVARY - HOLY SEPULCHRE First Edition lithograph Full plate: 26 Presented in a acid free mount Modern hand-coloured lithograph for the first edition of David Roberts' The Holy Land. Published by F.G. Moon & Son, London 1842-49. We have many both Subscription and First Edition lithographs in stock. The subscription edition was printed on a fine paper, hand coloured and then stuck on card. The first edition was printed on a more coarse paper and not coloured by hand. These ones are coloured to match the subscription colouring. Each lithograph is sold in mint condition and in an acid free mount. David Roberts was born in Edinburgh. After a brief apprenticeship as a shoemaker under his father, he trained as a house-painter and decorator. During this time he studied art in the evenings. His talent as an artist was soon noted and he moved on to painting scenery for many of the prominent theatres in the area. In 1822 the Coburg Theatre, now the London Old Vic, offered Roberts a job as a scenic designer and stage painter. He sailed from Leith with his wife and their six-month-old Christine and settled in London. After working for a while at the Coburg Theatre, Roberts moved to the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane to create dioramas and panoramas. By 1829 he was working full-time as a fine artist, having been persuaded to do so by JMW Turner. In 1831 the Society of British Artists elected him as their president. In 1832 he travelled in Spain and Tangiers. He returned at the end of 1833 with a supply of sketches that he elaborated into attractive and popular paintings. The British Institution exhibited his Interior of Seville Cathedral in 1834, and he sold it for £300. He executed a fine series of Spanish illustrations for the Landscape Annual of 1836. Then in 1837 a selection of his Picturesque Sketches in Spain was reproduced by lithography. Roberts set sail for Egypt on 31 August 1838. His intent was to produce drawings that he could later use as the basis for the paintings and lithographs to sell to the public. Egypt was much in vogue at this time, and travellers, collectors and lovers of antiquities were keen to buy works inspired by the East or depicting the great monuments of ancient Egypt. Roberts made a long tour in Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, the Holy Land, Jordan and Lebanon. He produced a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches. On his return to Britain, Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe from 1842 to 1849 to produce the lavishly illustrated plates of the Sketches in the Holy Land and Syria, 1842–1849 and Egypt & Nubia series. He funded the work through advance subscriptions which he solicited directly. The scenery and monuments of Egypt and Holy Land were fashionable but had hitherto been hardly touched by British artists, and so Roberts quickly accumulated 400 subscription commitments, with Queen Victoria being subscriber No. 1. Her complete set is still in the Royal Collection. The timing of publication just before photographs of the sites became available proved fortuitous. In 1839 he was elected an associate and in 1841 a full member of the Royal Academy. In 1858 he was presented with the freedom of the city of Edinburgh. The last years of his life were occupied with a series of views of London from the Thames. He had executed six of these, and was at work upon a picture of St Paul's Cathedral as seen from Ludgate Hill, when he died suddenly. He collapsed on Berners Street on the afternoon of 25 November 1864 and died at home that evening. The symptoms, described as apoplexy in most histories, were those of a stroke. He was buried at West Norwood Cemetery.
