sir – The Fitzwillia­m Museum in Cambridge has on display a very similar exhibit to “Tippoo’s Tiger” (report, May 28). Theirs is titled “The death of Lieutenant Munrow” and shows the immaculate­ly dressed and blood-free body of the officer being carefully dragged away by the tiger.

I never leave the Fitzwillia­m without paying my respects to the poor young Lieutenant. George Wilkie
