Image description

The name Claud Martin is lightly inscribed in tiny letters on one panel of the stone, half-way up the grip; Claude Martin was a Frenchman who fought against the British in India, but changed sides following the siege and fall of Pondicherry in 1790-1. He joined the army of the British East India Company as an Ensign, working his way up through the ranks to become Major General in charge of the Lucknow Arsenal. He commissioned Indian artists to create works of art depicting the flora, fauna and daily life in India.
