Large-format volume (elephant folio) of lithographic views of Jerusalem and the Holy Land, compiled from two incomplete albums:

• Souvenirs de Jérusalem, color lithographs by French Vice-Admiral François-Edmond Pâris. Paris: Mme Ve Bouchard-Huzard, 1862. French.
[3] leaves, [13] plates (of 14; apparently lacking the plate depicting the road from Jaffa to Jerusalem).

• Thirty-three lithographs from Voyage dans le Levant en 1817 et 1818, by Baron Auguste de Forbin (first published: Paris: L'Imprimerie Royale, 1819, in a limited edition).
The present volume includes three lithographs after drawings by Forbin himself – View of Jerusalem from the Valley of Jehoshaphat, View of the Dome of the Rock, and a schematic plan with detailed legend of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – together with 30 lithographs after various artists, executed by Godefroy Engelmann (1788-1839): gates of Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock, churches and mosques, as well as other sites in Jerusalem and throughout the Holy Land – the Jordan River, Jaffa, Gaza, and more.
Altogether 46 lithographs bound together. 62.5 cm. Overall fair-good condition. Stains. Minor blemishes.
