Excerpt from Two Years in Palestine Syria
Villa, and the kh n by the hotel, I propose to endeavour to depict by means of pen and pencil a likeness, as it were, of the Palestine and Syria of to-day, and so far as is possible, from a purely secular point of view. The writer of a late description may at least hope to act the part of one of those photographs which it is the fashion to superimpose so as to obtain a representative face; in other words, to be one of the units which serve to create a correct impression of the scenes described. For this purpose, with sketching materials and note-book in hand I set out on my journey.
