Katherine Wilmot

Katherine (or Catherine) Wilmot (c.1773 – 28 March 1824) was an Irish traveller and diarist. She made a Grand Tour from 1801 to 1803 and documented her experiences through letters, including encounters with notable figures like Napoleon Bonaparte. She later traveled to Russia to join her sister Martha Wilmot and lived there from 1805 to 1807. She later moved to France and died in Paris in 1824. Her writings, letters, and diaries provide insight on the Napoleonic era, on the Russian society and on travel in the 19th century. Her works also include her sister's transcript of the memoirs of Princess Dashkova.
