Orientalist art, popular in the 19th century, often depicted scenes from the Middle East and North Africa, created by European artists. These works frequently portrayed exotic landscapes, local customs, and people, reflecting a Western fascination with the "Orient." Prints from this era, especially engravings and etchings, were widely produced and collected. Artists like Gustave Doré and Sir William Allan were known for their detailed illustrations and historical scenes, which were often reproduced as prints for wider distribution. The subject matter of caravanserais and scenes of daily life in the Middle East was a common theme within Orientalist art. Circa 1830-1880
