Hand Colored Engraving by Harding / Fitzmaurice: View of Mount Tabor

One round, bare mountain sits alone on a green plain under a high sky

This hand colored engraving is from London, England, United Kingdom, and dates to the 19th century. It is ink on paper. Orientalism, a genre of art about the East, is generally traced to Napoleon's 1798 invasion of Egypt, which encouraged scholars and artists to visit and document North Africa and the Middle East. Here is a hand-colored landscape with a single domed hill, scrubby trees at its base, a flat green plain stretching away, and a few figures resting at lower left. Faint clouds sit above. A short title prints below. It is 9.3 inches wide and 6.3 high.

A hill with a lot of presence and very little company.
