The Mosque of Sultan Hassan, Cairo.

The Mosque of Sultan Hassan, Cairo.

David Roberts. R.A. L. Haghe Lith.
London, Published F. G. Moon, 20 Threadneedle Street, Dec.r 1st, 1848.
Tinted lithograph, printed area 365 x 510mm (14½ x 20").
The Sahn or court of the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, near the Citadel in Cairo, begun in AD 1356 and finished three years later. 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.
