Charles Tripp-Paul Collins
Gertrude Bell (1868-1926) was a key figure in the setting up of the Iraqi state and monarchy after the First World War. Arabist, Persian speaker, scholar, and traveller, she was an imperial administrator with a deep concern for the archaeological heritage of Iraq. Her legacy endures both in the shape of the Iraqi state and also in the Iraq Museum.
