Salvete Omnes,
the last day of May 2024 - and to finish off this month of camels , I have selected some artwork by David Roberts(1796-1864), a Brtish painter and draughtsman, from his opus magnum - The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia. - from the Holy Land - land of Israel and Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon, Syria & Egypt - in the 1830s AD.
Amazing skills of observation and composition, sure hand and careful-for-detail eye - simply put, these works are simply wonderful.
unusually, the campgrounds & tents -
