Keppel's travels, which took him via Babylon, Tehran, Baku, Astrakhan, Moscow and St Petersburg (then a rare feat), provided the material for books including 'Personal Narrative of Travels in Babylonia, Assyria, Media, and Scythia, in the year 1824' (1827). This portrait of Keppel is the frontispiece to that book.
