Here is a "miniature" of a British Sportsman shooting a Tiger from a Howdah. This is from Patiala State in about 1892.

I would be interested to know who the Maharaja was that was out shopping for a Barrela gun. Barrela enjoyed the patronage of the Russian Royal family - prior to their demise! The Russians were also quite cosy with the Nizam of Hyderabad. This is a photo from the Grand Duke Alexanders visit in to Hyderabad in 1891.
