This month marks 150 years since Amelia B Edwards travelled to Egypt with Lucy Renshaw where they made their famous voyage ‘A Thousand Miles Up the Nile’. Their journey in Egypt lasted until May 1874. To mark the occasion, I will be tweeting highlights from their journey. #ABE150 A black and white photograph of Amelia Edwards sitting slightly turning her face to her right and staring into the camera. She wears a thick, fur-lined coat and has her hair pulled back, presumably into a bob, behind her. From the archives of the Egypt Exploration Society. We know many of these dates thanks to a diary kept by Jenny Lane, maid to Lucy Renshaw, now kept @GriffithOxford. These dates, correlated with Amelia’s own account, paint a picture of travel in Egypt in the late 19th cent.
