EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the historical site of Budshur Bagh in Lucknow, circa 1858. Created by Lieutenant-Colonel David Scott Dodgson and reproduced by E Walker, this print is a part of the General Views and Special Points of Interest series depicting the city of Lucknow. Published in September 1860 by Day and Son, it showcases one of the significant landmarks during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Budshur Bagh was originally built as a royal garden under Nawab Nasir Uddin Haider's rule. However, during the second relief of Lucknow in November 1857, it became a strategic location for rebel forces to attack Sir Colin Campbell's column as they approached the besieged Residency. The lithograph beautifully portrays both the architectural grandeur and historical significance of Budshur Bagh. The lush greenery surrounding its magnificent structures adds an element of tranquility amidst turbulent times. This artwork serves as a visual testament to India's rich history and its struggle for independence. It allows us to delve into an era marked by conflict while appreciating the beauty that once existed within these battlegrounds. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this lithograph provides viewers with a glimpse into an important chapter in Indian history – reminding us that even amidst chaos, art has always found its way to document and preserve our collective heritage.
