Description

The unusual life of Gertrude Bell used to be marked by myriad achievements. Despite the fact that best known for her intrepid desert travels and her part in the creation of the up to date state of Iraq, she also made a significant contribution to the field of archaeology. On the height of her career, Bell journeyed into the heart of the Middle East retracing the steps of the ancient rulers who left tangible markers of their presence in the type of castles, palaces, mosques, tombs and temples. Some of the many sites she visited were Ephesus, Binbirkilise and Carchemish in up to date-day Turkey in addition to Ukhaidir, Babylon and Najaf throughout the borders of up to date Iraq. Lisa Cooper here explores Bell’s achievements, emphasizing the tenacious, inquisitive side of her unusual personality, the breadth of her knowledge and her overall contribution to the archaeology of the Middle East. Featuring many of Bell’s own photographs, this can be a unique portrait of a remarkable life.
