This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of Lucknow, the capital of Oude. The print showcases an array of elements that define this historical Indian city. In the foreground, majestic elephants gracefully traverse through the streets, symbolizing both power and tradition. These gentle giants were not only used for transportation but also played significant roles in religious ceremonies and royal processions.

This vibrant landscape is a testament to the region's fertile soil and its importance as a center for food production.

The city was renowned for its grand palaces, intricate mosques, and ornate gardens – all contributing to its reputation as a cultural hub.
