This engraving depicts the capture of two of Tipu Sultan's sons following the Third Anglo-Mysore War (1790-1792). This war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Seringapatam, signed by Lord Cornwallis, the Governor-General of India,on behalf of the British East India Company; representatives of the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Mahratta Empire, and Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore. As part of the treaty, Tipu Sultan ceded part of his dominion to the British, paid a substantial financial settlement, and surrendered two of his sixteen sons as hostages to the British. Accordingly, on 26 February 1792, Princes Mohin-ud-din (or Moiz-ud-din),aged eight, and Abdul Khalik, aged ten, were delivered to Lord Cornwallis at Seringapatam.
