EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Plan of Lucknow, 1883" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases military operations that unfolded in and around the city of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The image offers a glimpse into the intense battle between rebel forces and British troops as they fought for control over this strategic location in Uttar Pradesh, India. The detailed illustration highlights key landmarks within Lucknow while depicting the chaos and turmoil that characterized this period. As we study this historical artwork, we can appreciate its significance as part of The Age We Live In: A History of the Nineteenth Century collection. It serves as a testament to colonialism and the power dynamics at play during Britain's rule over India. Now preserved in a private collection, this print allows us to reflect on not only the military strategies employed but also on the resilience shown by both sides involved. It stands as a reminder of past conflicts and their impact on shaping our present world. With its rich colours and intricate details, this engraving invites viewers to delve into an important chapter in Indian history – one marked by rebellion, struggle for independence, and ultimately shaped by British intervention.
