EDITORS COMMENTS
The Relief of Lucknow. . . November 1857, (1901). A historic meeting captured in this print showcases the bravery and resilience of British officers during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In this powerful image, Major General Sir Henry Havelock, Lieutenant-General Sir James Outram, and Field Marshal Colin Campbell come together after successfully relieving the besieged city of Lucknow. The siege of Lucknow was a pivotal moment in the uprising against British rule in India. For 87 long days, mutineers held the city captive until these courageous leaders led a British force to its rescue on November 25th, 1857. This photograph immortalizes their triumphant encounter. Taken from a painting displayed at London's National Portrait Gallery in 1859, this print captures not only the historical significance but also the emotions that must have coursed through these men as they met amidst chaos and destruction. The determination etched on their faces serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to duty and honor. This image is part of 'The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts', Volume I - To The End of the Indian Mutiny' by J. Maclaren Cobban published in Edinburgh in 1901. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon one chapter within Britain's complex relationship with India during colonial times. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, let us remember those who fought valiantly for what they believed was right while acknowledging the complexities inherent within such historical events.
