Description: 

A portrait of renowned author T.N. Mukharji (July 22, 1847-November 3, 1919). He was a prolific writer who wrote in both Bengali and English. He also participated in the curation of several Indian exhibits in museums across Europe. While curating these exhibits he created a travelogue that focused on his personal experiences in Europe, and the ignorance the average British citizen had towards cultures outside of their own. His journal would be published under the title A Visit to Europe.
