Tippoo Sultan, also known as Tippoo Saib, was a prominent figure in Indian history during the late 18th century. Born in 1750, he ruled over the Kingdom of Mysore and became known for his resistance against British colonization. His life came to a tragic end at the Siege of Serigapatam in 1799. An engraving from that time depicts the moment of his death, showcasing the intense battle that took place. This event marked a significant turning point in India's struggle against British rule. Tippoo Sultan's legacy is still remembered today through various artworks and artifacts. The Royal Visit to the Indian Museum in South Kensington captured this rich heritage with an engraving showcasing historical relics associated with him. James Grant, an artist from the late 19th century, depicted Tippoo Sahib at different moments in his life. One illustration shows him at the Lines of Travancore while another portrays him alone. These images provide glimpses into his persona and reign. The discovery of Tippoo Sultan's body by Sir David Baird further adds to his intriguing story. This engraving showcases Baird uncovering his remains after their burial beneath those of their followers—a testament to Tippoo Sultan's loyal following even after death. Other artifacts associated with Tippoo Sultan include a gun attributed to him and his distinctive helmet and standard—both beautifully rendered through chromolithography techniques. Even Lord Cornwallis had encounters with Tippoo Sultan when he received his sons as hostages—an event immortalized through an engraved depiction capturing this historic exchange between two powerful figures. Lastly, we have a glimpse into technological advancements during Tippoo Sultan's era—the Mysore Rocket Man who developed innovative rocket technology for warfare purposes—a testament to India's scientific achievements during that time period.
