This reproduction presents an ethnographic study showing a group of Nubians at Wadi Kardassy. The illustration details traditional attire, ornaments, and equipment, such as spears and shields, set within a desert environment of sand and ochre tones. The strength of the line makes it possible to distinguish the textures of the fabrics and the documentary character of the accessories worn.
Created by David Roberts during his 1838 journey, this lithograph documents the inhabitants of Nubia with a rigor characteristic of the scientific Orientalist movement. The composition emphasizes clothing details and posture, offering a visual testimony on the local culture of the period. This plate is part of an effort to record human types and customs encountered along the Nile.
This documentary plate is aimed at amateurs of anthropology and the history of civilizations. It constitutes a strong decorative element, bringing academic interest and an authentic human presence within a collection of antique illustrations. It is a prime piece for a decor oriented towards the history of travel and exploration.
