Lady Hardinge of Penshurst Winifred Selina Sturt married her first cousin Henry Sturt a racing magnate and close friend of Edward Prince of Wales. She served as a Woman of the Bedchamber to the Princess of Wales before her husband by then a Baron was named Viceroy of India. The concurrence of monarchical rule and colonialism put aristocratic families with close ties to the royal family put aristocratic Europeans in positions of power worldwide no matter their qualifications. The family moved to India where Lady Hardinge worked to advance women's education. She was instrumental in starting the Lady Hardinge Medical College in Delhi the first medical school exclusively for women in India. She died in November of 1914 just 8 months after receiving this certificate. Signed by the school's President Lady Superintendent and Secretary.

Calcutta early 19th century. From the collection of Richard Wellesley governor-general of Bengal A superb study of a bluefish in the Company School style. Artists from different Indian traditions combined miniature painting with Western naturalist techniques. Characteristically made with watercolour depth is introduced through linear perspective and tonal change through shading. Richard Wellesley first Marquess Wellesley governor-general of Bengal from 1798 to 1805 was a major patron. The style emerged from the interaction between Indian and European cultures after the British East India Company gained administrative control of Bengal in 1757. "Although the essential impulse of the Company School was assimilative its results were quite the opposite: what emerged was a unique genre in its own right characterized by a plethora of hybrid styles and a blending of visual vocabularies" Mathur p. 86. It arose in different cities each distinguishable by style and artists came from traditions such as Mughal Maratha Punjabi Pahari Tamil and Telugu. "Calcutta was among the important early production centers as the site of one of the oldest British trade houses" Sardar. One of Calcutta's most enthusiastic patrons was Wellesley 1760-1842 who had a collection of around 2660 folios depicting plants birds mammals insects and fish. He found documenting the knowledge of Indian fauna crucial: "To facilitate and promote all enquiries which may be calculated to enlarge the boundaries of general science is a duty imposed on the British Government in India by its present exalted situation" Martin p. 674. His Scottish surgeon Francis Buchanan 1762-1829 was appointed to collect materials "for a correct account of all the most remarkable quadrupeds and birds in the provinces subject to the British Government in India and to extend his enquiries as circumstances shall admit to the other divisions of this great continent and the adjacent isles" Martin p. 674. Wellesley established the Institute for Promoting the Natural History of India with a menagerie and aviary at Barrackpore. Specimens were collected for scientific study often with commissioned drawings by Indian artists. According to Wellesley's accounts 500 rupees were reserved for the upkeep of the birds and animals 300 for capturing them 100 for painters and 60 for stationery and paints. The institute survived until 1878 and the animals were moved to Alipore later Kolkata Zoo.
