Hand Colored Engraving by Fitzmaurice: The Summit of Mount Tabor

Meanwhile, a forest track turns toward a gnarled tree where a traveler sits beside his beast

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. Presented here, a hand-colored scene of a sunlit dirt track winding through dense green trees, with a bare, twisted trunk at right and small figures with an animal on the path. It is 9.3 inches wide and 6.3 high.

A good shady road and a tree that has opinions.
