FIRST EDITION of the second, climactic part of Roberts's Holy Land. First appearing in twenty numbers, most containing six plates, it successfully brought to a conclusion 'one of the most important and elaborate ventures of nineteenth-century publishing and ... the apotheosis of the tinted lithograph.'
