EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 19th century vintage photograph, titled 'India - the Residency, Lucknow' by Samuel Bourne, captures a moment in time during the British Raj era in India. The image, likely taken in the 1860s, depicts a serene scene of the Residency, a grand colonial building located in Lucknow, the capital city of the northern Indian province of Uttar Pradesh. The Residency was the official residence of the British Resident, a British diplomat and representative of the British East India Company, who lived there with his family and staff. The building, with its imposing architecture and lush gardens, stands proudly on the banks of the Gomti River. In the foreground, a group of British soldiers, dressed in their full regalia, are seen taking a leisurely stroll along the riverbank. A shepherd with his flock of goats adds a touch of rural charm to the scene. The photograph, taken using the wet collodion process, showcases the intricate details of the Residency's architecture, from the intricately carved balconies to the ornate columns and arches. The traditional Indian clothes worn by the women in the background, who are likely servants or local residents, add a vibrant and colorful contrast to the otherwise monochrome image. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical tapestry of India during the British colonial era, a time of great change and transformation. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of India's diverse landscapes, people, and traditions, and serves as a reminder of the country's complex and fascinating history.
