EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "The Secundra Bagh showing the Breach of Gateway, Lucknow" captures a haunting scene from history. Taken by Felice Beato (Felix) in the 19th century, this photograph is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The image portrays the aftermath of destruction during the Indian Mutiny, also known as the First War of Independence. The Secundra Bagh, once a serene walled garden on Lucknow's outskirts, now lies in ruins. The breach in its gateway serves as a stark reminder of the violence that unfolded within its walls. As we gaze upon this photograph, we witness remnants of war scattered amidst rubble and debris. The architectural grandeur that once defined this place has been reduced to fragments. Islamic and Mughal influences are evident in what remains standing – testament to India's rich cultural heritage. This image not only documents historical events but also evokes emotions through its monochromatic palette. It invites us to reflect on the devastating consequences of conflict while highlighting resilience amid destruction. Through Beato's lens, we are transported back in time to witness a chapter from India's past that shaped its future. This photograph stands as an important record of our shared history and reminds us never to forget the lessons learned from such turbulent times.
