Study of Tippoo Sultan's Incredible White-Man-Eating Tiger Toy Machine!!! is an oil on aluminum painting made to scale of the 18th century automaton known as “Tipu’s Tiger” in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The wooden “toy”, which is actually an 18-note organ, depicts a life size tiger mauling a British soldier and mechanisms inside the tiger growl while one hand of the man moves and emits a wailing sound from his mouth. The tiger is a part of a group of caricatures commissioned by Tipu Sultan, the 18th century ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, showing Europeans being attacked, tortured, and humiliated by tigers or elephants, and snakes in an apparent reclamation of the Western stereotype of Indian “natives” as savage beasts. The tiger, along with a majority of Tipu Sultan’s wealth and personal effects, was looted by the British during the storming of Mysore in 1799.
