Valerie, Lady Meux [1852-1910] was a character in her own right, being a banjo playing barmaid that married Sir Henry Bruce Meux, 3rd Baronet, who came from one of Britain's richest brewing dynasties - Meux's Brewery. The original Ethiopian manuscripts were brought back from the Abyssinian Campaign by a British officer, who sold them to the antiquarian book dealer in London, Bernard Quaritch. They were then purchased by Lady Meux, and reproduced by E. A. Wallis Budge, on her behalf.
