Portrait of world traveller Ida Pfeiffer with the Pyramids of Giza in the background. Ida Laura Pfeiffer (1797-1858), née Reyer, was an Austrian explorer, travel writer, and ethnographer. She was one of the first female travelers, whose bestselling journals were translated into seven languages. During her travels she collected plants, insects, mollusks, marine life, and mineral specimens. Many were sold to Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and the British Museum.
