Louis Haghe

Artist

Louis Haghe (1806–1885) was born in Tournai, then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, into a family of architects, and trained in watercolour before turning to lithography when the first press was set up in his town. He moved to England and became a partner in Day & Haghe, lithographers to Queen Victoria, one of the leading firms of the age. His greatest achievement was turning David Roberts's drawings of Egypt and the Holy Land into the famous lithographs of The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt and Nubia (1842–1849). Later he devoted himself to watercolours of old interiors and historical scenes. We print two of his lithographs: Galton Bridge in the English Midlands (1826) and the Pyramids of Giza from Egypt and Nubia (1848).
