Footnotes
Beato arrived in the city in March of 1858, just days after the British had finally routed the rebel sepoys who had previously lain siege to the Residency. "Large sectors of a once radiant and sparkling city were reduced to rubble" during the conflict (Llewellyn-Jones, Lucknow: City of Illusion, p.7).
Includes: execution of rebels (L1); ornate gateway at Kaiser Bagh (L21); bridge of boats (L5); Moti Mahal (L19); Secundra Bagh (L12); road by which Henry Havelock entered (L31); Clock Tower Gate (L33); Munchee Bagh or Old Citadel (L41); Stone Bridge and the New Fortifications (L44); overhead view of the Hussainabad Imambara (L52); two parts of his 8-part panorama taken from the Great Imambara (A4, A5).
