NCERT (2026-27): “5.1 Celebrating the saviours … Some of them commemorate the British heroes who saved the English and repressed the rebels. ‘Relief of Lucknow’, painted by Thomas Jones Barker in 1859, is an example of this type.… 5.2 English women and the honour of Britain … ‘In Memoriam’ (Fig. 10.11) was painted by Joseph Noel Paton two years after the mutiny. You can see English women and children huddled in a circle, looking helpless and innocent, seemingly waiting for the inevitable – dishonour, violence and death.…”
