David Roberts
traveled in Egypt in the early 1800's. He produced six volumes
of prints from Egypt, Nubia, and other areas of the Middle
East. These prints were taken from his large, detailed
watercolor drawings. His drawings show Egypt as it was before
the monuments were restored. All images in the screensaver
have been enhanced to show the vibrant colors of Cairo and the
heiroglyphic details and delicate colors of the pharaonic
ruins that Roberts painstakingly captured in his watercolors.
Roberts painted these pictures on his travels up the Nile in
1838 and 1839.
This screensaver includes 49 of these prints, and a portrait
of David Roberts dressed in Arab garb.
