Explorer, illustrator, enigma! Today she is largely forgotten, but towards the end of the nineteenth and well into the twentieth century, Eyra Toggenburg travelled the globe.

Eyra Toggenburg: Cats and Carpet Bags
A Painted Travelogue
Cats and Carpet Bags is a collection of paintings attributed to the intrepid explorer Eyra Toggenburg. Only recently unearthed in the archives of renowned actor and playwright Wellington P. Dashwood, they chronicle a lifetime of travel and adventure.
Her journals, although cryptic and difficult to translate, were thought to be the only evidence of her travels. However, these new discoveries illuminate some of the adventures portrayed in her books and illustrate, in particular, her love of Egypt.
Some readers may be disappointed by the small number of actual carpet bags and cats in this book, but followers of Eyra's adventures will perhaps appreciate the title!
