"Caravan Arriving At A Well Near Thebes, Egypt," Mrs Roberton Blane, Female Artists Exhibition, 1864 Creator: Unknown
"Caravan Arriving At A Well Near Thebes, Egypt," Mrs Roberton Blane [sic], Female Artists Exhibition, 1864. Engraving of a painting, '...which shows that ladies, who have often proved themselves the most adventurous of travellers, partake the general curiosity respecting the ancient and still mysterious East. The scene before us is one of the wells...in the neighbourhood of the ancient Egyptian ruined capital, near the...edge of the desert. These wells are very welcome to the traveller...Almost every sense is gratified at these little oases: the eye is relieved with a sight of a few palms...while the body is refreshed with rest and the tongue with a cooling draught...We may admire the picturesque groups...the Arab guards mounted and dismounted, the travellers or passengers squatted in a circle conversing, the Nubian water-carrier, and the women busy filling their bottles, the camels, some standing, others drinking at the troughs, and others hobbled and fastened to the ground. We have only to add that the accomplished lady who painted the original picture is the wife of a gentleman to whom all interested in art and artists must feel grateful for his long-continued exertions in seeking to obtain an amendment of the law of artistic copyright'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
A tranquil oasis amidst ancient ruins: 'Caravan Arriving At A Well Near Thebes, Egypt' (Mrs Roberton Blane, Female Artists Exhibition, 1864). This exquisite engraving captures a moment of respite for travelers as they arrive at a well near the fabled city of Thebes in modern-day Luxor. The scene is one of serenity and refreshment, with camels drinking from troughs and Nubian water-carriers busy filling bottles. Meanwhile, Arab guards stand watchful vigil while passengers converse in circles around them. This picturesque tableau was painted by Mrs Roberton Blane, a talented artist whose work showcases the beauty of Egypt's ancient landscapes. The engraving itself is a testament to the skill of unknown artists who brought this scene to life for readers of 'Illustrated London News' in 1864.
