Description
English: Plate 11, The Secunder Bagh


The Sikandar Bagh in Lucknow was built as a pleasure garden by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah (1847-56). Enclosed by a stout wall, it was named after one of his wives. In 1857, Indian rebel forces gathered there in great strength. The British troops undertaking the first relief of the city under General Havelock managed to reach the Residency on September 25, but only after several sharp encounters with the guns at Sikander Bagh. As a result, they found that they could only add reinforcements to the besieged but not rescue them.

The second relief force under Sir Colin Campbell moved from La Martiniere towards Sikander Bagh on November 16, and they were scarcely able to move because of the deadly firepower they faced. After heavy bombardment they created a small breach in the thick walls and went through. Both sides fought with desperate courage. At least 2,000 Indian rebels were killed.

A plate from General Views & Special Points of Interest of the City of Lucknow, from Drawings made on the spot by Lieut. Col. D. S. Dodgson, A.A.C.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1898, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
