The inside of the Secundra Bagh where 2000 men were killed [Lucknow]. Photographer: Beato, Felice
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Historical Events
No. 13 in the Lucknow and Cawnpore section of the published catalogue of Beato views, entitled: 'Interior of the Secundra Bagh after the slaughter of 2,000 rebels by the 93rd Highlanders and the 4th Punjab Regt. - First attack of Sir Colin Campbell in November, 1857'. View looking across a courtyard littered with skeletons and bones towards the gutted Sikandarbagh. Research by John Fraser indicates that Beato did not take this photograph until March 1858, and that he appears to have had previously-covered remains exposed for dramatic photographic effect. For his detailed analysis of the circumstances surrounding the taking of this photograph, see The Journal of the Society of Army Historical Research (vol. LVIV, pp.51-55). Other copy negs at B.1120 and B.9336.
Exhibited Museum of Sydney, Encountering India, 16 May - 17 August 1997.
