EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the Cawnpore Battery facing the Cawnpore Road in the Baillie Guard, circa 1858. This remarkable print by David Scott Lieutenant-Colonel Dodgson, now housed at the National Army Museum in London, offers a glimpse into the tumultuous times of siege warfare. The image showcases an imposing gun emplacement strategically positioned along the road, forming part of the formidable fortification that defended Lucknow during its infamous Siege. The Baillie Guard Gate stands tall and proud as it guards the entrance to the Lucknow Residency compound. Named after its builder from earlier years, this archway served as a crucial point of access for British forces. Intricately detailed and colored by R M Bryson, this lithograph is one of twenty-seven prints featured in "General Views and Special Points of Interest of the City of Lucknow". Published by Day and Son on September 1st, 1860, these prints provide a comprehensive visual record of this historic city. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when artillery played a pivotal role in defending against enemy forces. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and resilience amidst conflict and an invaluable historical artifact capturing an important chapter in India's past.
