Lithograph from General Views and Special Points of Interest of the City of Lucknow, a series of 27 coloured lithographs by R M Bryson, E Walker, F Jones after Lieutenant-Colonel Ds Dodgson, published by Day and Son, 1 September 1860.
The stone bridge at Lucknow was built across the River Gumti in 1780. Construction began during the reign of Nawab Safdar Jang (1739-1753), but it was not completed until his grandson, Nawab Asaf-ud-daulah, was on the throne. During the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859), Thomas Henry Kavanagh (1821-1882) Assistant Commissioner of Oudh, guided Sir Colin Campbells relief force across the stone bridge to the besieged Residency. This was after he had disguised himself and swam across the Ganges, narrowly escaping death in the process.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "View of Stone Bridge from Moosah Bagh End of the City, 1858 circa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The print showcases the stone bridge at Lucknow, built across the River Gumti in 1780. Its construction spanned generations and was finally completed during Nawab Asaf-ud-daulah's reign. The image holds even greater significance due to its connection with the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859). Assistant Commissioner Thomas Henry Kavanagh played a pivotal role in guiding Sir Colin Campbell's relief force across this very bridge to reach the besieged Residency. Kavanagh's bravery is highlighted by his daring escape from death as he disguised himself and swam across the Ganges River. Published as part of a series called "General Views and Special Points of Interest of the City of Lucknow" this lithograph captures not only historical events but also showcases artistic talent. Created by Lieutenant-Colonel Ds Dodgson and reproduced by R M Bryson, E Walker, F Jones after him, it offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in India's past. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this print serves as a reminder of both architectural marvels and heroic acts that shaped our world. It stands as a testament to human resilience and determination against all odds.
