  • Charlotte Canning, Countess Canning (née Stuart; 31 March 1817 – 18 November 1861) was a British artist and the first vicereine of India. She was one of India's most prolific women artists – two portfolios in the Victoria and Albert Museum contain some 350 watercolours by her, the result of four major tours in the country. Her husband was Charles Canning, who served as Governor-General of India from 1856 to 1858 and then as Viceroy of India until 1862. As the elder daughter of the British ambassador to France, she was born and raised in Paris. She moved to England with her family in 1831, marrying Canning four years later. From 1842 to 1855, Lady Canning served as a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Victoria and was a favourite of the monarch. She moved to Calcutta in 1856 upon her husband's appointment, and two years later she became India's first vicereine when the country fell under control of the British Crown. As an artist and botanist Lady Canning collected flowers and plants during her frequent trips around India, while drawing the natural scenes around her. She became ill shortly before her scheduled return to England, and died of malaria in Calcutta. Her death was widely reported in England, where she was exemplified as a symbol of feminine virtue in the Victorian era. A type of Indian dessert, ledikeni, is named after her. (en)

  • Charlotte Canning, grevinnan Canning, född 31 mars 1817, död 18 november 1861, var en engelsk målare och den första vicedrottningen i Brittiska Indien 1858-1861. Hon var lady of the Bedchamber till Viktoria av Storbritannien 1842-55. Hon var från 1835 gift med Charles Canning, 1:e earl Canning Hennes make blev 1856 Brittiska Ostindiska Kompaniets generalguvernör i Indien, och blev Storbritanniens förste Vicekung över Indien 1858; det var då frågan om att han kvarblev i samma ställning men bytte titel när Indien formellt blev en brittisk koloni. Charlotte blev då vicedrottning, men det innebar ingen reell förändring. Paret bodde kvar i Government House i Calcutta och hon fortsatte att spela rollen som guvernörshustru, vilket innebar att vara huvudvärdinna för den brittiska befolkningens sällskapsliv och visa intresse för lokal välgörenhet. Hon är också känd som målare, och har efterlämnat 350 tavlor i vattenfärg med avbildningar av det samtida Indien. En särskild typ av sötsak i Bengalen, , har sitt namn efter henne. (sv)
