Description
English: Plate 16, River view of buildings


This lithograph is taken from plate 16 of 'General Views of Lucknow' by Sir DS Dodgson. In the siege of 1857 at Lucknow these buildings were held by Sir Colin Campbell whilst the British evacuated the Residency. The structure on the left is the Kadam Rasul (meaning prophet's footprint) a place of worship built by Nawab Ghazi-ud-din-Haider on an artificial mound. According to Dodgson, it contained a stone with an imprint of the foot of the prophet brought by a pilgrim from Arabia, which disappeared during the rebellion. The view also shows the Shah Najaf and Moti Mahal, and on the extreme right is the Chattar Manzil.
The building on the left of this view of Lucknow is the Kadam Rasul (prophet's footprint) a mosque built by Nawab Ghazi-ud-din-Haider. During the Indian Mutiny (1857-1859) it was used as a staging post by General Sir Colin Campbell during the evacuation of the British Residency on 22 November 1857.

A plate from General Views & Special Points of Interest of the City of Lucknow, from Drawings made on the spot by Lieut. Col. D. S. Dodgson, A.A.C. London: Day & Son, Gate Street, Lincoln's Inns Fields. Lithographed title and 27 tinted lithographed views on 11 sheets, engraved plan at the end. Dedicated to Lieut. Gen. the Ho. Sir James Outram, Bart. G.C.B. Member of the supreme council of India, &c. &c.
