"This was the account of Duke Maximilian von Bayern's journey through Nubia, Egypt, Palestine in 1838. The plates are scenes in Eastern life, including a doctor's visit to the Harem. Interestingly because of his professional status he was the only detailed external source of information re women's lives, health etc. in the harem at the time, a source of great interest to European observers."
