From LinkedCulture

This photograph captures the Hosainabad Imambara in Lucknow just months after the violent siege of 1857, frozen in an uneasy calm. Felice Beato's 1858 albumen silver print looks across a drained ornamental pool, lined with ceramic pots, toward the monument's ribbed central dome and dense arcade of cusped arches, with two small figures standing on the ornamental bridge ahead. Beato was among the first photographers to document the consequences of war on location, and this image helped shape how the British public visualized India in the aftermath of the uprising.
