As Inspector of Monuments, traveling by army transport, on horseback, or by donkey, Creswell was able to measure and photograph monuments from the Euphrates to Egypt.
Creswell’s military postings turned his focal interest from Persia to Egypt, but he always remained of aware of how important the study of Iraq and Syria remained for studying the origins of Islamic art and architecture.
These statistics were essential for Creswell’s later proposal, submitted shortly thereafter to King Fuad I of Egypt, for researching and writing, in Creswell’s words, an ‘exhaustive history’ on the history of Islamic art and architecture.
