Description: | This uncoloured aquatint is taken from plate 15 of Captain Alexander Allan's 'Views in the Mysore Country'. Sivangiridurg was one of the many hill-forts of Tipu Sultan, ruler of Mysore in the late 18th century. It was taken by the British during the third Anglo-Mysore war, and this picture dates from that period. According to Allan, Sivangiridurg was a "small but almost impregnable hill-fort, one mile and a half from Ramgherry, ... capitulated immediately after the fall of Ramgherry, and surrendered to the detachment under Captain Welsh on the 24th December, 1791". | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Allan, Sir Alexander (1764-1820) | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
