Tinted lithograph, printed area 340 x 520mm (13½ x 20½").
The two Colossi of Memnon, massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III (ruled c.1388-c.1351 BC), guarding the entrance to his mortuary temple. Later visitors named them after Memnon, a King of Ethiopia who led his armies to aid the defence of Troy and was killed by Achilles. The statues are shown surrounded by flood waters from the Nile; however when Roberts visited in December the annual Innundation of the Nile would have receded. Published in the monumental folio edition of 'Egypt & Nubia: from drawings made on the spot' by David Roberts (1796 - 1864), lithographed by Louis Haghe. This example comes from the library of Sir Richard Hungerford Pollen (1815-81), 3rd Baronet of Redenham, an amateur artist listed as a subscriber to this work. However this is not a hand-coloured subscription plate but is still an early printing, one issued in wrappered parts prior to the bound First Edition.
