"Lying in Wait from Sketches and Incidents of the Siege of Lucknow from Drawings Made During the Siege" is a historical artwork by Clifford Henry Mecham, who was an officer in the British Indian Army during the time of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The piece is part of a larger collection of works that depict various scenes and events Mecham witnessed during the Siege of Lucknow, a pivotal conflict in the rebellion where British forces were besieged for several months before being relieved.

Mecham's collection serves not only as a visual historical record but also as a personal testament to the experiences of those involved in the siege. His drawings, including "Lying in Wait," were created amidst the turmoil and danger of the conflict, offering a raw and immediate perspective of the events as they unfolded. The artwork is characterized by its attention to detail and the emotional intensity conveyed through the scenes of battle, the suffering of the besieged, and the moments of tension and anticipation.

The Siege of Lucknow itself was a significant episode in the larger uprising, which sought to end British rule in India. The siege lasted from May to November 1857 and involved intense fighting, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Mecham's works, created during this period of uncertainty and strife, provide a unique visual documentation that complements historical texts, giving viewers a more nuanced understanding of the conditions and the human aspects of the siege.

"Lying in Wait" and the other drawings in Mecham's collection have historical value not only for their artistic merit but also for their contribution to the historiography of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. They offer insight into the experiences of British soldiers and their perspective on the conflict, which has been a subject of extensive study and debate among historians. The collection has been referenced in historical texts and exhibitions, highlighting the role of art in capturing and preserving moments of historical significance.
