This lithograph is taken from plate 23 of Emily Eden's 'Portraits of the Princes and People of India'. Eden wrote: "The first of these figures represents a respectable landholder of the Upper Provinces, in his winter dress. The second figure is that of a Mahomedan of Upper India, of the Pathan Tribe which is of Afghan descent. The man was famous as a wrestler."
