EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Felice Beato during the Indian Rebellion in 1858, showcases the majestic view of Chattar Manzil Palace on the banks of River Gumti in Lucknow. The palace, once a symbol of opulence and grandeur, now serves as a field hospital amidst the chaos of rebellion. In this historic image, we can see Nawab Sadaat Ali Khan's royal boat resting peacefully on the riverbank. The fish-shaped boat, an ancient symbol of sovereignty, adds to the regal ambiance surrounding the palace. As sepoy mutinies rage across India, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a glimpse into both war and independence struggle against British imperialism. The pontoon bridge and barge nearby hint at logistical challenges faced during these tumultuous times. The sinking galleon further emphasizes the turmoil that has engulfed this once serene landscape. Chattar Manzil Palace stands tall with its umbrella-like architecture representing power and authority. It is not just a physical structure but also holds historical significance as it witnessed key moments during India's fight for freedom from colonial rule under "the Raj". This remarkable print offers us an opportunity to delve into history and reflect upon the resilience displayed by those who fought for their nation's independence.
