WALKER (Mary Adelaide).

Through Macedonia to the Albanian Lakes.

Blackmer 1757: “First and apparently only edition. Mrs. Walker seems to have joined her brother, chaplain to the English community at Constantinople, sometime shortly after the Crimean War, c. 1856… She herself remained in the Levant for over 40 years. In 1860 her brother was sent as temporary chaplain to Salonica, and during the early 1860’s she made several tours through what is now Northern Greece and the borders of Yugoslavia and Albania. There is a long description of Salonica and accounts of Kastoria, Florina, Vodena (Edessa), Ochrid, and Kavalla. A very interesting work, accompanied by lithographed plates after drawings by Mrs. Walker.”
