This detailed late 18th-century map illustrates the Southern Provinces of Hindoostan (India) following the defeat and death of Tipu Sultan (Tippoo Saib) during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799. Published in London by Robert Wilkinson on January 1, 1800, the map serves as a vital historical record of the geopolitical restructuring of southern India at the turn of the nineteenth century. It outlines the extensive territorial cessions forced upon the Kingdom of Mysore, delineating regions absorbed by the East India Company and its regional allies. The map extends from the Konkan coast and Golconda in the north down to Cape Comorin and northern Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in the south, flanked by the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. A comprehensive color-coded legend at the lower left identifies territorial divisions: British possessions in red, Carnatic and allies in yellow, the Nizam of Hyderabad's territories in brown, Maratha (Paishwa) domains in green, and Tippoo's remaining Mysore realm in blue. Dotted lines further distinguish the boundaries established by the 1792 Treaty of Seringapatam from those enforced after the final defeat in 1799. Engraved with fine precision by Thomas Foot, the map vividly renders topographical relief, major rivers, fortresses, ports, and regional provinces such as Canara, Malabar, Coimbatore, and Tanjore.
