British illustrator, writer, and nurse Lady Strangford composed Egyptian Sepulchres and Syrian Shrines in 1861, following her 1858 journey throughout Syria, Lebanon, Asia Minor and Egypt. Featuring elaborate illustrations after sketches she made during the trip, the volume became so popular it was re-issued several times. It did, however, receive one highly critical review from British nobleman Percy Smythe, which ironically led to their meeting and eventual marriage.
