Hussainabad Gate, Lucknow c.1867: A Window into the Past of the City of Nawabs This photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Samuel Bourne around 1867, presents a stunning view of the Hussainabad Gate in the historic city of Lucknow, India. The image transports us back in time to the 1800s, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and architectural grandeur of this city during the 19th century. The Hussainabad Gate, an iconic landmark of Lucknow, was built in 1887 under the patronage of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the last Nawab of Awadh. This magnificent gateway, adorned with intricate floral and geometric designs, served as the main entrance to the Hussainabad Complex, which included a mosque, a tank, and a garden. The photograph, taken several years before the gate's completion, provides a unique perspective of the structure under construction. The image showcases the gate's impressive size and the meticulous attention to detail in its design. The use of red sandstone and white marble in the gate's construction is evident, adding to its visual appeal. As we gaze at this vintage photograph, we are transported back to an era of traditional urban scenery, where the streets were bustling with activity, and the architecture reflected the diverse cultural influences that shaped the city of Lucknow. The photograph serves as a testament to the city's rich history and its enduring allure, making it a must-visit destination for travelers and history enthusiasts alike.
