The Prince of Wales in India: group of survivors of the Defence of Lucknow...1876. Creator: W. H. O
The Prince of Wales in India: group of survivors of the Defence of Lucknow [1857], from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. A happy thought of the Prince [of Wales, future King Edward VII] suggested that the veterans should be presented to him....The delight of these brave men was expressed in their faces; and as...each looked up to the Prince, they seemed for the moment supremely happy, in spite of age and infirmity and poor clothing. One, nearly blind, exclaimed, "Let me see him;" and the Prince, understanding what he meant, told the officers to permit him to approach. The veteran, with his hand at the salute...peered into the Prince's face, drew a deep sigh, and said, "I thank Heaven I have lived to see this day and the Prince's face." Among those present was old Ungud, the famous spy, and Carronjee Lall, the companion of Kavanagh in his daring venture'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, is seen engaging with a group of survivors of the Defence of Lucknow during his tour of India in 1876. The image is a depiction of a poignant moment, captured from a sketch by a special artist for the Illustrated London News. The Prince, with his warm and compassionate demeanor, had the idea of meeting these brave veterans, who had fought valiantly during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Their faces reflect the joy and gratitude they felt at being granted an audience with their monarch. Despite their advanced age, infirmities, and meager clothing, their spirits were lifted as they looked up to the Prince, each one seemingly supremely happy for the moment. One of the veterans, nearly blind, expressed his desire to see the Prince. The Prince, understanding the man's wish, allowed him to approach, and the veteran, with a hand at the salute, deeply sighed and expressed his gratitude. Among the survivors present were old Ungud, the renowned spy, and Carronjee Lall, who had accompanied Kavanagh in his daring venture. This photograph is a testament to the Prince's empathy and respect for the soldiers who had bravely defended their country during a time of great turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human connection that transcends the boundaries of power and position.
