520 3    |a Roberts’ visit to Egypt and Palestine came at a time of rising interest in Europe in touring these regions. The new Egyptian government of Mohammed Ali Pasha (Mehmet Ali Paşa), whose hereditary title to rule in Egypt was recognised by the European powers in 1840, was anxious to promote a more dynamic relationship with Britain. In Palestine, the Ottoman empire permitted the establishment of a British consulate at Jerusalem in 1838. These aids to travel and tourism further stimulated British interest in Palestine, especially in those places associated with the life of Christ. -- Roberts, who came from a poor background near Edinburgh and was initially apprenticed to a house painter to learn drawing, subsequently produced a notable series of oil paintings during the 1840s and 1850s based on his drawings of Egypt and Palestine.
