"This is an outstanding example of a truly interdisciplinary study, integrating painting, photography, travel narrative, and especially harem portraiture. Mary Roberts describes encounters between women--both British travelers and the women of Istanbul and Cairo harems--in a refreshing, innovative analysis of the historical and imaginary workings of harem imagery as forms of cross-cultural exchanges and interactions."--Julie F. Codell, editor of "Imperial Co-Histories: National Identities and the British and Colonial Press"
