EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of The International Exhibition: The Outram Shield, exhibited by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell in 1862. The creator of this image remains unknown, but the details of this magnificent shield are well documented. The shield, presented to Sir James Outram, is a large and intricately designed piece, made of oxydised silver, iron, and steel, richly damascened in gold. The central group in high relief depicts Sir Henry Havelock restoring the command of the British forces to Sir James Outram after the relief of Lucknow in 1857. Surrounding this scene is a small circle of steel damascened with gold, containing eight medallion portraits of Sir James's companions in the Lucknow campaign. The inscription on the shield dedicates it to Sir James Outram in appreciation of his "sterling and brilliant qualities which have ever marked his career, and in lasting testimony of his gallantry, self-devotion, and highly chivalrous bearing during the operations attending on and following the relief of Lucknow." The shield is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creator, Mr. Armstead, and stands as a noble and conscientious piece of work, conferring great credit on the artist. The details of the shield, from the intricate damascening to the lifelike portraits, are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time and serve as a lasting tribute to Sir James Outram and his accomplishments.
