Persian Pictures was Bell's first published book printed anonymously in 1894 in London, now making its first US appearance. A history of her long stay in Persia, it shows her deep understanding of the culture and no doubt was instrumental in her appointment to the Arab Bureau in Baghdad where she, along with T. E. Lawrence, advocated for independent Arab States in the Middle East.
