A Zemindar or Farmer of the Upper Provinces and A Puthan a Famous Wrestler.
[Lithographed by Lowes Dickinson after Emily Eden.]
[London: J. Dickinson & Son, 1844.]
Rare tinted lithograph. Sheet 460 x 370mm (18 x 14½"), with large margins.
Two standing figures from Emily Eden's 'Portraits of the Princes & Peoples of India'. In the text she wrote: ''The first of these figures represents a respectable landholder of the Upper Provinces, in his winter dress. The second figure is that of a Mahomedan of Upper India, of the Pathan Tribe which is of Afghan descent. The man was famous as a wrestler''. The Hon. Emily Eden, the seventh daughter of William Eden, first baron Auckland, accompanied her brother, George, Lord Auckland (1784-1849) to India, where he served as Governor-General from 1835-1842. A highly gifted amateur artist and writer, Eden recorded her observations of life in India during this period in the form of letters and an extensive collection of sketches. On her return to England in 1842, Eden arranged to have her images printed privately as a portfolio of 24 lithographs.
