Her regal poise is evident as she mingles with esteemed company. Josiah Rowe's skilled hand immortalizes her elegance during a visit to Calcutta in 1861. The Viscountess Canning graces us with her presence once again in Barrackpore during the same year. John Constantine Stanley's lens captures her essence beautifully against the backdrop of colonial India. Lady Cannings' love for horses shines through as we catch a glimpse of her riding on her Black Arab companion while accompanied by Lord Clyde, Commander-in-Chief. These images capture not only their aristocratic lifestyle but also their passion for equestrian pursuits. One particularly endearing photograph shows Lady Canning alongside J. C. S. , undoubtedly capturing a cherished moment between friends or family members during this period spanning from 1858-61. Through these photographs and portraits, we are transported to an era when British nobility left an indelible mark on Indian society. The Countess Canning stands tall among them - an embodiment of grace and refinement amidst the grandeur of colonial India's social scene.
