Description: | Ink wash on paper of the north east view of Ooliadroog by Robert Home (1752-1834) in 1792. The image is one of a series of 22 loose drawings completed by Home when he accompanied the British army under Cornwallis during the 3rd Mysore War 1791-1792.
The Anglo-Mysore Wars of the late 18th century were fought between the British and the Mysore rulers Haidar Ali (r.1761-1782) and his son Tipu Sultan (r.1782-1799) over the control of Southern India. Ooliadroog, a hilltop fort situated between Bangalore and Seringapatam, changed hands several times in this time. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Robert Bowyer | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Home, Robert (1752-1834) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
