AFTER THOMAS JONES BARKER (1815-1882) [The Relief of Lucknow, & triumphant meeting of Havelock, Outram, Sir Colin Campbell] steel engraving by G. Lewis, on india paper, mounted, published March 25 1862 by Thos. Agnew & Sons, Manchester, Liverpool and London, an early state without title, signed by Jones Barker and Lewis somewhat spotted, some surface dirt, unexamined out of frame P. 837 x 1480mm A RARE EARLIER STATE SIGNED BY ARTIST AND ENGRAVER. The Indian Mutiny in 1857 was the first sign of British disaffection against British rule. It erupted at Meerut, near Delhi, and spread rapidly across North India. At Lucknow, the European and Christian population retired into the heavily fortified British residency, guarded by a small force of loyal sepoys. Finally, in mid-November, Colin Campbell Commander-in-Chief, conducted the exhausted garrison out of the city. It was not finally re-occupied until March 1858. The defence and relief of the Lucknow Residency became, understandably, a famous episode in British military annals. The print after Thomas Jones Barker's painting in the National Gallery in London, portrays the encounter between the three most popular heroes of the campaign, Colin Campbell James Outram, and General Sir Henry Havelock.
