Emily Eden: British woman in India who documented an empire in transition
Emily Eden, a British artist and writer from an influential political family, traveled across northern India in the 1830s and 1840s while accompanying her brother, the governor-general of India. Her sketches and writings from this period provide a detailed and broad view of Indian society, including princes, soldiers, and various communities, capturing their dress, customs, and landscapes. Her work offers a rare visual and literary record of India during a time of political change, reflecting her curiosity and her belief in Britain's civilizing mission.
