About This Item

A Page from The Victorian era Graphic newspaper. December 1887. 12 x 16 inches. shows engraving of a group of Indian women posing with two white men, text beneath the image reading "Lady Dufferin's Fund, For supplying female medical aid to the women of India-some of the women doctors and their English teachers." Scenes of combat between British officers and attacking Indian natives below. Taken together the images suggest the civilizing influence of colonialism. The Countess of Dufferin Fun was established in 1885 when Queen Victoria tasked Lady Dufferin with improving women's healthcare in India. The queen had just received a missionary's letter that read in part, "the women of India suffer when they are sick." The complex relationship between conquest and paternalism played out to an extreme in India where the long term effects of colonialism continue to present day. Very light tonight to edges does not affect image or text. Overall very good condition.
