EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs. Hastings, a woman of great privilege and wealth in the late 18th century. The image was captured by an unknown artist in the 1920s and featured in Lord Curzon's book, "British Government in India". Mrs. Hastings, also known as Marian, was the wife of Warren Hastings, a prominent English statesman who served as the first de facto Governor-General of India from 1773 to 1785 during the British Raj. In this portrait, she exudes elegance and poise as she sits comfortably with her elbow leaning on a surface. The photograph symbolizes both colonialism and imperialism that characterized British rule over India at that time. It offers us a glimpse into the privileged lives led by those associated with the British Empire. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, highlighting Mrs. Hastings' beauty and grace while emphasizing her status within society. Her presence is commanding yet gentle, reflecting her role as a lady of influence during this significant period. As we observe this remarkable image today, it serves as a reminder of the complex history between Britain and India - one filled with power dynamics, cultural exchange, and societal norms shaped by colonial rule. This photograph allows us to delve deeper into these narratives while appreciating Mrs. Hasting's individuality within them.
