Description
English: This uncoloured aquatint is taken from plate 19 of Captain Alexander Allan's 'Views in the Mysore Country'. The figures seen on elephants are Tipu's (two) sons, who were taken hostage in February 1792 when Srirangapatna fell to Lord Cornwallis, concluding the third Anglo-Mysore war.

Cornwallis also demanded two of Tipu's sons as hostages to ensure that the Treaty was fulfilled. The young Princes Abdul Khaliq (aged ten) and Mohin-ud-din (aged eight), left their father's city in some state, mounted on elephants in a procession led by camels and standard bearers, followed by an escort guard.
Tipu's sons: Abdul Khaliq Sultan (1782-1806) and Mu’izz-ud-din Sultan (1783-1818)
