She and her husband traveled through Egypt, Palestine and Syria in 1843, which led her to create a series of drawings of sites such as Karnak, Petra and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, later published in her book Sketches in the East. Several years later, she documented their tour of Spain in her above work, which she wrote and also co-illustrated along with painter Egron Lundgren.
