Journey to the Holy Land

Rare depictions of 19th-century Palestine by Anna Julia Grant-Duff (1839–1915), who in the 1880s spent a winter at Haifa in a house owned by the British author and traveller Laurence Oliphant (1829–1888).

Anna Grant-Duff was married to Sir Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant-Duff, a well-connected Scottish politician, administrator and author, who served as Governor of Madras from 1881 to 1886. Very much a talented woman in her own right, Anna was involved in pioneering women's healthcare in India in the late 19th century.
