India. Manuscript Plan of the Position of the Confederate Armies under the Direction of Earl Cornwallis before Shrerungputtun. From the Fifth to the Twenty-fourth of February when the Cessation of Hostilities took place. Likewise the Position of the Enemy's Army Commanded by Tippoo Sultan in person previous to the Action of the Night of February 1792, pen, ink and watercolour plan with a large decorative cartouche and 'scrolled' key, one closed tear, old folds, tipped on to later blue paper, 355 x 220 mm A highly unusual and accurate plan of Srirangapatna during the war with Tipu Sultan. Srirangapatna was the scene of the last and decisive battle fought between Tipu Sultan and a combined force of 50,000 men provided equally by the Nizam of Hyderabad and the East India Company under the overall command of General George Harris. This battle was the last engagement of the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The Battle of Seringapatam, 1799, was truly momentous in its historic effects. At the battle's climax, Tipu Sultan was killed within the fort of Seringapatam, betrayed by one of his own confidants; the spot where he ultimately fell is marked by a memorial. Apart from the usual gold and cash, innumerable valuables, objets d'art and many of the personal effects of Tipu Sultan, were shipped to England; including the famous automaton 'Tipu's Tiger' which is on display at The Victoria and Albert Museum. Much of the site of the Battle is still intact including the ramparts, the Water Gate, the place where the Tipu Sultan's body was found, the area where the British prisoners were held and the site of the destroyed palace.
