Gertrude Bell, the well-known explorer and archaeologist, began her extensive travels in the Near East in 1892. In her trips, she surveyed and photographed the areas which she visited and investigated archaeological sites. Due to her extensive knowledge of the area, she
became a target for recruitment by British Intelligence. Later, she held the office of Oriental Secretary to the High Commissioner in Baghdad, and helped in creating the modern state of Iraq. She also became an Honorary Director of Antiquities there and
established the Iraq Museum. Amurath to Amurath  is an account of some of her travels in the Middle East.
