View on the Nile looking towards the pyramids of Dashour and Saccara

This artwork shows a different perspective of the Egyptian pyramids as seen from the Nile River, specifically focusing on the pyramids at Dashour (now known as Dahshur) and Saccara.

This is part of Roberts' series of Egyptian landscapes created during his travels through Egypt in the late 1830s. The artwork would have been published as part of his "Egypt and Nubia" collection, which featured numerous detailed lithographs of Egyptian monuments and landscapes. Roberts' works are celebrated for their accuracy and artistic merit, providing valuable historical documentation of these ancient sites as they appeared in the 19th century.
