About
"St. Jean D'Acre" is a 19th century folio sized hand-colored lithograph from the "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia" volume of David Roberts’ large folio edition, published in London by F. G. Moon in 1843. The lithographs were prepared by Louis Haghe (1806-1885) from drawings and paintings by Roberts. The resultant large folio editions of 'The Holy Land' and 'Egypt & Nubia' are considered the greatest lithographically illustrated works issued in the 19th century.
This hand-colored print is presented in a gold-colored wood frame with a decorative inner trim with a cream-colored double mat. It is in excellent condition.
The print depicts the city skyline of St. Jean d'Acre on a peninsula with boats moored in the bay to the left. In the foreground costumed figures rest on a hillside with their horses and weapons, smoking hookahs and watching the great military procession taking place on the open fields below.
Four additional David Roberts engravings identically framed and matted are available (three are hand colored and one is a tinted duo-tone), which would make a beautiful display grouping of two, three, four of five prints.

Artist: David Roberts (1796-1864) was born outside of Edinburgh, Scotland. At age 10 he became a house painter’s apprentice. He continued painting houses and eventually theater scenes in Edinburgh and then in London. His friend, J. M. W. Turner, recognized his artistic talent and encouraged him to become a full-time artist.
In 1839 he traveled to Egypt and then in 1840, through the Holy Land, concluding in Jerusalem. Upon his return to England, F. G. Moon agreed to publish lithographs created by Louis Haghe from Robert’s sketches and watercolors. This publication was highly acclaimed and very popular for its esthetic quality, its historical and topographical accuracy, and Robert’s dramatic depiction of his scenes. Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens were among the subscribers who collected his works. Robert’s and Haghe’s duotone lithographs, often colored, remain extremely sought-after today and have been rising steadily in value.
