EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Finding the British prisoners under the casemates in the fortifications, 1894" captures a significant moment in history. Created by artist Richard Caton Woodville II, this artwork depicts a scene from the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. In this final confrontation between the British and Tiupu Sultan, also known as the Tiger of Mysore, tensions run high as soldiers search for hidden British prisoners beneath the casemates in Seringapatam. The image showcases the conflict and intensity of war during that time period. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving. The soldiers are dressed in their distinctive uniforms, representing England's military might. As they meticulously plant their steps through the fortifications, they remain vigilant while searching for any signs of imprisoned comrades. This piece transports viewers back to 18th-century India when battles were fought on foreign soil. It serves as a reminder of both triumphs and losses experienced by those involved. Richard Caton Woodville II's skillful execution brings life to this historical event with his monochromatic portrayal. Through his artistry, he pays homage to Tippu Sultan's resistance against British rule while shedding light on an important chapter in Indian history.
