PFEIFFER . IDA LAURA (17971858), Austrian traveller, daughter of a merchant named Reyer, was born at Vienna on the 14th of October 1797. In 182o she married Dr Pfeiffer, a lawyer of
Lemberg
 , who subsequently incurred official persecution and was reduced to poverty. In her later life Mme Pfeiffer devoted her limited means to travel. In 1842 she visited Palestine and
Egypt
 , and published an account of her journey in Reise einer Wienerin in das Heilige Land (Vienna, 1843). In 1845 she set out to Scandinavia and Iceland, describing her tour in two volumes, Reise nach dem skandinavischen Norden and der Insel
Island
  (Pest, 1846). In 1846 she started on a journey round the world, visiting Brazil, Chile and other countries of
South
  America, Tahiti, China, India, Persia,
Asia
 
Minor
  and
Greece
 , and reaching
home
  in 1848. The results were published in Eine Frauenfahrt urn die Well (Vienna, 185o). In 1851 she went to England and thence to
South
  Africa, intending to penetrate into the interior; this proved impracticable, but she proceeded to the Malay Archipelago, spending eighteen months in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. After a visit to Australia, Madame Pfeiffer proceeded to California, Oregon, Peru,
Ecuador
 , New Granada, the Missiones Territory, and north again to the
Great
  Lakes, reaching
home
  in 1854. Her narrative, Heine zweile Weltreise, was published at Vienna in 1856. In May of the same year she set out to explore Madagascar, where at first shewas cordially received by the queen. But she unwittingly allowed herself to be involved in a plot to overthrow the government, and was expelled the country. She died at Vienna on the 27th of October 1858.
The Reise nach Madagascar was issued in 1861 (Vienna), with a biography by her son.
