Wingfield Park. Bara-duree [Lucknow]. Photographer: Abbas Ali
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
General view of the baridari or pavilion in Wingfield Park: 'This park, originally called Banarsee Bagh, was in a very dilapidated state, when it came into possession of the British. It is now named after the popular Chief Commissioner of Oudh, who took advantage of the natural picturesqueness of the spot, to have it carefully beautified with beds of flowers, umbrageous trees, parterres, gravelled walks and drives...The marble baradurree was once the pride of Huzrut Bagh. It was removed and rebuilt where it now stands, a graceful and elegant work of art, in the centre of the flower garden. This magnificent building is said, like the Taj at Agra, to have been inlaid with precious stones; it appears they have all been removed, for nothing but counterfeit imitations now supply their place...'
