Hand Colored Engraving by Stanfield: View of the Arch At Edom

Gently, a slim high arch spans a cliff gap while a camel waits in the shadows below

This hand colored engraving is from London, England, United Kingdom, and is dated 1835. It is ink on paper. The Finden brothers engraved biblical scenes after J.M.W. Turner for the 1836 book Landscape Illustrations of the Bible, and Turner relied on sketches by artists who had visited the Holy Lands. An upright hand-colored view of towering rock walls joined by a high bridge, with a camel and attendants gathered at the base among broad green leaves. It is 6.3 inches wide and 9.3 high.

A steep drop, a tidy bridge, and a very patient camel.
