Photograph of the memorial erected on the site of the 1857 Bibighar massacre at Cawnpore. The memorial features an octagonal screen enclosure with gothic arches. At the front, facing the viewer, is an angel looking down to the right, holding palms. Standing facing the viewer is a solitary British soldier facing the viewer with his left hand resting on a walking stick. On the steps leading to the monument is his pith helmet. The monument stands where the Bibighar or 'House of Women' once stood in Cawnpore. This became symbolic for the massacre that took place there during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The remains of the victims were thrown down a well within the Bibighar and Charlotte, Countess Canning (1817-61), the wife of the Governor General, was instrumental in arranging for a memorial to be placed over the area where the massacre took place. The Angel, designed by Baron Carlo Marochetti (1805-67), was placed directly over the site of the well and the monument soon became a popular site to visit; in 1876 the then Prince of Wales visited the site during his own tour of India.
