Travels in Egypt, Nubia, Holy Land, Mount Libanon, and Cyprus in the year 1814
Henry Light's Travels in Egypt, Nubia, Holy Land, Mount Libanon, and Cyprus, published in London in 1818, records a journey of 1814 with engraved views of ancient and modern sites. The engravings show ruined temples, fortified walls, palm groves and small figures in the foreground, giving a designer clear examples of how early nineteenth-century travel prints framed architecture within landscape, with stippled tonal shading and strong silhouettes against open sky.
