Exhibitions at Victoria Memorial Hall, Calcutta.

Emily Eden - the person behind the artist.
But it is as a painter that she is being re-introduced to the public consciousness through the current exhibition. J. Dickinson published her paintings for the first time in 1844 in a collection called "Princes and People of India". Her paintings were executed in watercolour and depicted, as the title suggests, the entire cross-section of Indian society of that day: at least to the extent of her knowledge. Twenty-three sketches of Ms. Eden were published in that volume as lithographs. The exhibition is rehosted from 29 MAR 2007 and shall remain on view till further notice. Timings: 10.00 a.m. to 5.p.m. (Monday closed)
