- A well-educated daughter of an English diplomat, Emily Eden was a poet and novelist who spent five years traveling in India with her sister and brother, the latter serving as the British Governor General of India. Her account of the journey documents her struggles with the humidity, the political and cultural landscape. The portraits here were composed during a trip through the north, where the group met with royalty in an attempt to gain favor for the British Empire.
