Palace of the Maharajah of Mysore, India, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Hughes Brothers, of Madras. 'The important Native State of Mysore, in Southern India, after a long period of British administration, has been restored to the government of its legitimate Prince, the Maharajah Chamarajendra Wodiyar, who is eighteen years of age...Mysore is one of the finest provinces in Southern India, and contained by latest census 5,055,412 inhabitants, or 2,535,924 males and 2,519,488 females. The value of the exports consisting chiefly of betel nut, coffee, cotton, cardamoms, rice, silk, and sugar, amount to £1,100,003; and the imports, consisting mainly of iron, gold, pepper, salt, and pulses, were £1,000,000. Since 1832 the control of the country has been entirely in our hands, and its affairs have been administered by a British Commissioner. Henceforth the only spot of ground that will remain to the British in Mysore territory will be the cantonment and Fort of Bangalore'. The Old Palace which was built of wood, burned down in 1896. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
