EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the "Lesser Court Residency Occupied by Cavalry" in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Taken by renowned photographer Felice Beato in 1858, this albumen silver print captures a significant moment in history. The image transports us back to a time when British forces occupied the Lesser Court of the Residency during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The cavalry soldiers are seen standing proudly within the courtyard, their uniforms and weapons reflecting their military prowess. Their presence symbolizes both power and control over this historical site. Beato's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of the architecture but also its state of disrepair due to conflict. The crumbling walls and damaged structures serve as reminders of past battles fought on these very grounds. As an Italian-born English photographer, Beato had a unique perspective that he brought to his work. His ability to capture such raw emotions through his lens is evident in this photograph. It serves as a testament to his skill and dedication as an artist. This albumen silver print offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in Indian history while showcasing Beato's talent for capturing moments frozen in time. Its inclusion in the Liszt Collection ensures that this remarkable piece will be preserved for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
