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]
