Drawn from the north, this view of Jerusalem shows the city as a traveler approaching from that side would have seen it in April 1839, when David Roberts was working on the spot. Roberts sketched the city during his tour of the Near East, and the drawings were turned into finished prints by Louis Haghe, a Belgian-born lithographer who was among the most skilled practitioners of the color lithograph. Published by F. G. Moon in London in parts between 1842 and 1845, the plates made Roberts's views of biblical lands widely available to a British public eager for images of the Holy Land.
