Anton,
Thanks a lot for this site, what a treat to see this Art! And Petra is such an interesting history. Like the hide-a-way of Ali Baba only the one narrow way in and out and totally hidden from the outside world. On Gooogle Earth though one may have an aerial overhead view at leisure.
I really thank you for this treasure.

Friends,
You can enjoy online also the collection of lytographs by Scottish
artist David Roberts (1796-1864) who traveled through Petra in 1838.
Please see: http://www.petrafineart.net/catalog/Volume%203.cfm
Warmest regards,
Anton
