EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic city of Lucknow, India in 1893. Created by the talented artist Edward Paxman Brandard, this engraving captures the essence of a significant event that unfolded in this very location. Lucknow, once the capital of Oudh state, witnessed a remarkable siege during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The British Empire valiantly held their ground for an astonishing 87 days against rebel forces surrounding them. This image is extracted from James Taylor's renowned book "The Age We Live In: A History of the Nineteenth Century" published in London in 1893 by William Mackenzie. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a time when war and rebellion shaped nations. The intricate details within each building tell tales of resilience and strength amidst chaos. The print collector has preserved this momentous scene for generations to come. Lucknow stands as a symbol not only for its architectural beauty but also for its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of India's struggle for independence and the impact it had on shaping our world today. Edward Paxman Brandard skillfully immortalizes this chapter in history through his artistry, allowing us to reflect on past events that have shaped our present reality.
