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).
