'Last Effort and Fall of Tippoo Sultan', 1799, (mid-19th century). Death of Tippoo Sahib (1753-1799) Sultan of Mysore at his stronghold, Seringapatam. After besieging the city, British forces stormed the city on 4 May 1799. This victory brought to an end the short fourth Anglo-Mysore War (March-May 1799) enabled them then to gain control of Southern India, leading eventually to British rule throughout India.
