EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Alum Bagh, from the Advance 24-Pounder Battery Picket, 1858 circa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by David Scott Lieutenant-Colonel Dodgson and reproduced by E Walker, this artwork is housed at the National Army Museum in London. The image showcases Alum Bagh, a vast enclosure located just outside Lucknow city during the year 1858. It depicts Sir James Outram and his contingent of 4000 soldiers who occupied the Alumbagh after evacuating the Residency. Their presence effectively prevented rebel forces in Lucknow from launching offensive operations. In March of that same year, Sir Colin Campbell's troops joined Outram at Alum Bagh for the final assault on Lucknow. This strategic move ultimately led to the capture of the city. The lithograph provides an intricate glimpse into this historical event with its detailed depiction of military personnel and their artillery positioned within Alum Bagh's fortified walls. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur and tension surrounding this pivotal moment. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder through Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when bravery and resilience shaped our world's destiny. It serves as a reminder of those who fought valiantly for their cause and left an indelible mark on history.
