Even before Roberts and his party had left Cairo, they were aware the plague had been raging in Jerusalem for more than a year. Despite this disastrous news, Roberts was desperate to see ‘the great city’ and so from Jaffa they made their way there and camped outside the ancient walls. It was the 28th of March 1839 and on the following day, 'Good Friday', Roberts learned that – miraculously – the quarantine had ended and the barriers to the city were to be removed. The whole population seemed to be pouring out of the gates to enjoy the open country.
As it was Easter week accommodation was difficult to find but they chanced upon a man they had met in Hebron who offered to put them up with his brother-in-law. Roberts spent the next three days exploring before making an excursion to Bethlehem, via Bethany, Jericho, and the Convent of St Saba. He returned to Jerusalem for a further week on the 8th of April before heading on to Nablus to the north.
This lithograph presents Jerusalem in the evening, with the fast-sinking sun floods the landscape with a dramatic light. A limpid pool fills the foreground and to the right, a group of people quietly talk, while their camels rest nearby and a woman fills a flask with water. In the distance, the Dome of the Rock and the city’s minarets are silhouetted against the horizon.

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.
