Born in Kentish Town, London on 1809, the

(1771-1857). He became one of the foremost
illustrators of topography of his generation,
travelling not just throughout Britain, but to
the Americas in 1839-1842. In the mid/late 1840's
he travelled extensively in the Balkans and
Middle East. He died of fever on board ship
returning from his last trip to Israel in 1854.
