June 4. We are having a most prosperous journey and are now off over the Lebanon to Beyrouth [Beyrouth (Beirut)]. You observe the Lebanon [Liban, Jebel] covered with snow in the backgound of the above picture. This place is exquisite. We have enjoyed our two days here immensely. G.B.

Evolving Hands is a collaborative digital scholarship project between Newcastle University and Bucknell University which explores the use of Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and Text Encoded Initiative (TEI XML) to enhance cultural heritage material. In this project, we have applied these methods to a selection of letters from the Gertrude Bell Archive.
