Description
English: Plate 2, View from General Outram's Head Quarters (Dr. Fayrer's House)


Chief Commissioner Lawrence was aware of the precarious atmosphere in Lucknow, and when the 1857 revolt swept Avadh he immediately took up defensive quarters in the Residency compound. The Baillie Guard Gateway in the centre of the picture was one of the most important posts in the garrison. The ruined gateway to the left was held tenaciously by the Indians. Dodgson wrote that they "had several crack shots concealed in the upper portion of it, from whose bullets many a brave soul in the garrison perished." The palaces in front were finally stormed and held by the relieving force under General Havelock.

A plate from General Views & Special Points of Interest of the City of Lucknow, from Drawings made on the spot by Lieut. Col. D. S. Dodgson, A.A.C. London: Day & Son, Gate Street, Lincoln's Inns Fields. Lithographed title and 27 tinted lithographed views on 11 sheets, engraved plan at the end. Dedicated to Lieut. Gen. the Ho. Sir James Outram, Bart. G.C.B. Member of the supreme council of India, &c. &c.

Licensing edit

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1898, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
