TWW Comment

Louisa Tenison visited the Middle East with her husband in 1843 and is recorded by the Rev. John Wilson as being in Damascus in early June. She made a series of watercolour sketches on her travels which she published three years later in the book 'Sketches in the East'. See the comments below for further details.
