Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "Artists and Arabs; Or, Sketching in Sunshine" by Henry Blackburn is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The text describes the experiences of an artist or a group of artists as they explore and sketch various landscapes, people, and cultures in North Africa, particularly Algeria. The work highlights the charm and beauty of places like the Val d'Aosta, Lago Maggiore, and finally Algeria, delving into the interplay between art, culture, and the stunning landscapes of the region. The opening portion sets the stage for an adventurous journey undertaken by a group of sketching artists during the waning art season in London. As they debate their winter destination, they decide on Algeria and embark on their expedition, detailing their travels across lakes and through sunlit landscapes. Blackburn's writing captures the anticipation of new experiences as they ultimately approach Algiers, describing the vivid sights and the eclectic atmosphere that mark their arrival in this exotic locale. The narrative provides an atmospheric introduction to the interplay of cultures, landscapes, and artistic endeavor that unfolds throughout their travels.
