EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and historically significant print captures the intense moment when British East India troops, under the command of Colonel Baille, formed a square at Pollilur in September 1780. Surrounded by the Indian army of Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali, the British soldiers offered meagre resistance as they faced a relentless assault.
The image showcases the strategic military tactics employed during this crucial battle in Indian history. The British infantry can be seen forming a tight square formation, desperately trying to defend themselves against overwhelming odds. The air is filled with smoke from artillery fire and explosions as both sides engage in fierce combat.
Colonel Baille's troops appear outnumbered and outgunned, with limited ammunition and resources at their disposal. Despite their valiant efforts, it is clear that they are struggling to hold off the relentless attack from Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali's forces.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of war and the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely on both sides. It offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when two great powers clashed on the battlefield, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape our understanding of military strategy and conflict resolution.
