Engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret in 1789, this colour litho captures an extraordinary encounter between two influential figures: Pierre Andre de Suffren de Saint Tropez and Haider Ali. Pierre Andre de Suffren, a renowned French admiral and soldier, had engaged in several battles against the British off the coast of India.
