Description
English: Plate 12, The Shah Nujeef

Shah Najaf is the tomb of the seventh Nawab Ghazi-ud-din-Haidar, (1814-27). An imposing domed building set amid gardens, it was occupied by the Indian rebels during the uprising of 1857, directly guarding the route to the Governor's Residency. Dodgson wrote: "[The rebels] defended with great resolution against a heavy cannonade of three hours; Captain Peel, commanding the Naval Brigade, bringing up his heavy guns within a few yards of the building to batter the massive stone walls." At long last an old breach was found and the British troops poured in, ousting the Indian rebels and securing the post.

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.
