About the Item
David Roberts: 1796-1864. Very important and well Listed 19th century Scottish artist. He has had Auction results for paintings in excess of $1 million. Nevertheless, he is most recognized for his incredible hand colored lithographs of his explorations of the Middle East. The title of this piece is Approach of the Simoon” - Desert of Geezah. This lithograph has sold at Auction for over $10,000 and happens to be for sale on first dibs for over $22,000. The print itself measures approximately 19 1/4 inches wide by 13 1/4 inches high. The magnificent hand carved 19th century frame measures 25 inches wide by 20 inches high. It does have one area where there is a small loss of gesso. I’m sure it could easily be restored. The print is in remarkably great condition. The colors are incredibly vibrant for a print of its age.

David Roberts
David Roberts 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. Roberts’ friend, J.M.W. Turner, recognized his artistic talent and encouraged him to become a full-time artist.
In 1839 Roberts 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 Roberts’ sketches and watercolors. This publication was highly acclaimed and very popular for its esthetic quality, its historical and topographical accuracy, and Roberts’ dramatic depiction of his scenes. Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens were among the subscribers who collected his works. Roberts’ and Haghe’s duotone lithographs, often colored, remain extremely sought after today and have been rising steadily in value.
