Life
Arundale was born in London. He studied under Augustus Pugin, and accompanied him to Normandy, making drawings for a description which Pugin published of the tour. In 1831 Arundale visited Egypt with Mr. Hay, and in 1833 he joined Frederick Catherwood and Joseph Bonomi the Younger on their tour to the Holy Land, filling many portfolios with drawings of the interesting monuments and ruins of Palestine.
