Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives
Pictures by David Roberts and Louis Haghe
David Roberts's view of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives shows the Dome of the Rock rising above the old city walls and the green Kidron Valley, with palms and travellers resting in the foreground. Roberts sketched the scene on his journey in 1839, and Louis Haghe turned his drawings into celebrated lithographs. For someone who loves Jerusalem or dreams of travel.
