The image showcases the Moosa Bagh garden complex in Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny of 1857-1859. Created by Lieutenant-Colonel David Scott Dodgson and reproduced by E Walker, this print offers a glimpse into the intense siege warfare that took place during this tumultuous period. The Moosa Bagh was originally designed by Claude Martin for Nawab Asaf ud-Daula in the late 18th century but became a battleground during the British capture of Lucknow.
