Synopsis

Laborde (1807-1869) made the journey to Petra with the engineer Linant de Bellefonds in February 1828, travelling from Suez via St. Catherine’s and Akabah. They were the first to make detailed drawings of the area. This map was engraved by Colin to accompany Laborde’s work: Voyage de l’Arabie Petrée, which appeared for the first time in Paris in 1830.
