EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "El Kasne (Treasury), Petra, March 1839,1842-1849" takes us back to the enchanting world of nineteenth-century Middle East. The artist behind this masterpiece is David Roberts, a British illustrator known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of exotic landscapes. The print showcases the iconic Treasury building in Petra, Jordan. Standing tall against a backdrop of rugged rock faces, it exudes an air of mystery and grandeur. The vibrant colours bring life to every intricate architectural detail and create a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. In the foreground, we see a bystander—a mid-adult man—admiring the majestic structure. His presence adds scale and perspective to this magnificent scene. As we gaze upon this image from another era, we can't help but imagine ourselves transported back in time. Published in London between 1842 and 1849 as part of Roberts' renowned series "The Holy Land" this lithograph captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of El Kasne at that particular moment in history. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to Roberts' skillful craftsmanship. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by ancient wonders like Petra, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era—an invitation to explore its rich cultural heritage through visual storytelling.
