About the Author

Robert Walsh (1772-1852) was an Irish priest who was resident in Constantinople as a chaplain to Lord Strangford's Embassy from 1821 to 1824 and from 1830 to 1835. Thomas Allom (1804-1872) was a British architect (the church at Highbury as well as Saint Peter's church in Notting Hill are his creations) who abandoned his practice and travelled for nine months (c. 1836-1837) in Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine and Constantinople.
