David Roberts

David Roberts was a Scottish artist who travelled extensively in the Middle East in the mid-nineteenth century, painting and sketching the exotic locations he visited. 

As you can imagine, they caused quite a lot of excitement and interest in artistic circles back home.

I thought it might be fun to manipulate several of my own photographs of Petra today and place each of them with its corresponding David Roberts lithograph.
