Drawn from the north, this view shows Jerusalem as David Roberts saw it in April 1839, during his journey through the Near East. Louis Haghe transferred Roberts's sketches to stone for color lithographs, and this one was issued in *The Holy Land*, published in London by F.G. Moon between 1842 and 1845. The series made Roberts's views widely known in Britain and gave Victorian readers a vivid picture of places most of them would never see.
