Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Halftone, divided back, Lucknow, 13.85 x 8.80 cm.

Bailley Guard gate. Built by Major Bailley in 1814. The centre gateway was built up during the Mutiny, and through a space left open Havelock and Outram passed for the defence of the Residency. The house of Dr. Fayrer, where Sir Henry Lawrence died, is within the gateway to the left.

Among the very first India series published by Tucks in 1905 was a set of six cards of Lucknow, four of were of locations hallowed to the British of battles won during the first war of Independence (1857-58). Postcards like this helped keep alive memories of those events and helped to justify repressive actions during the 90 years that followed before Independence.
