"Portraits Of The Princes & Peoples Of India" is a notable collection of lithographs by Emily Eden, an English author and artist, published in 1844. This work is significant for its detailed and vivid portrayal of Indian royalty and commoners during the early 19th century, a period marked by British colonial rule. Emily Eden, who was the sister of George Eden, the 1st Earl of Auckland and Governor-General of India, accompanied him to India and spent six years there, from 1836 to 1842. During her stay, she meticulously documented her observations and experiences through both written and visual mediums.

The collection comprises twenty-four hand-colored lithographs, which were based on Eden's original sketches. These portraits capture a wide array of subjects, including Maharajas, Nawabs, and other dignitaries, as well as ordinary people from various regions and social strata of India. Each lithograph is accompanied by descriptive text, providing context and insights into the lives and status of the individuals depicted. Eden's work is celebrated for its artistic merit and ethnographic value, offering a rare glimpse into the diverse cultural tapestry of India during the British Raj.

Eden's artistic endeavor was not merely an exercise in portraiture but also an attempt to bridge cultural gaps and foster a deeper understanding of Indian society among her contemporaries in Britain. Her keen eye for detail and empathetic approach to her subjects have earned her a lasting place in the annals of colonial art history. "Portraits Of The Princes & Peoples Of India" remains a valuable resource for historians, art enthusiasts, and scholars interested in the visual culture of colonial India.
