EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing of El Deir in Petra, created on August 3rd, 1839. The artwork is part of the renowned collection "The Holy Land" by David Roberts, a prominent artist from London who lived between 1796 and 1864. Housed at the Jesuit Library in Cairo, Egypt, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Arab civilization in Jordan's ancient city. El Deir, also known as "The Monastery" stands as an architectural marvel amidst the rugged landscape of Petra. Its grandeur and intricate details are masterfully depicted in this drawing. The artist's skillful hand brings to life every stone carving and column that adorns this magnificent structure. Dating back to the mid-19th century, this image offers us a glimpse into Middle Eastern history and culture during that era. It serves as a testament to both the talent of David Roberts and his dedication to documenting significant landmarks across various regions. Leonard de Selva has expertly photographed this historical print for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. With its rich heritage and timeless allure, El Deir continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when it was first captured on paper over one hundred years ago.
