About the work

Tipping was a respected amateur archaeologist who from 1839 spent seven years in the Near East exploring ancient ruins. In addition to well known sites, such as the Parthenon, he visited others off the beaten track, like Jarash (now in Jordan) and Masada. In 1864 he was elected a member of the Society of Antiquaries. His parallel interest in more modern architecture is displayed in this drawing of an unidentified Damascus house, with its hawsh (open courtyard), fountain and takhtabush (recessed area for sitting).
