Mrs Walker joined her brother, Chaplain to the English community

at Constantinople, shortly after the Crimean War, c. 1856, and

remained in the Levant for over forty years. During the 1860s

she made several tours through what is now Northern Greece

and the borders of Yugoslavia and Albania. A very interesting

work based on several tours during the early 1860s through

what is now Northern Greece, Albania, Macedonia and the

Serb Republic. Mrs. Walker wrote a number of works describing

her travels in Greece and the Levant: Old Tracks and New

Landmarks, 1897; Eastern Life and Scenery, 1886; Brousse,

Album Historique, 1866. She also produced the illustrations

for Lady Hornby’s book, Constantinople during the Crimean

War, 1863. [library.onassis.org]
