This print showcases the magnificent First King of Oudhs Tomb in Lucknow, captured around 1900. The grand structure, known as Shah Najaf Imambara, was meticulously constructed by Nawab Ghazi-ud-Din Haider, who held the esteemed position of the last nawab wazir and became the first King of Awadh from 1816 to 1817. This remarkable tomb serves as a final resting place for this influential ruler. The image transports us back to a time when India was under the reign of the Nawabs of Awadh during the 18th and 19th centuries. These rulers governed with great authority over Oudh or Awadh, leaving an indelible mark on its history. Saadat Ali Khan holds significant importance in this lineage as he was appointed as the first Subahdar Nawab of Awadh from 1722 until his death in 1739. The photograph beautifully captures not only the exterior beauty but also provides glimpses into Indian culture and society at that time. The vibrant colors add depth to this historical scene while emphasizing its royal nature. As we observe this tinted lithograph, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both life and death - showcasing a burial site fit for royalty. This stunning print is a testament to our rich heritage and offers viewers an opportunity to delve into one aspect of India's fascinating past – where power, prestige, and architectural brilliance converged within these hallowed walls
