Physical Description
General Note
The 1810 print shows an explosion of a British magazine during the 1781 siege of Pensacola, killing or wounding many British soldiers. In the foreground, Spanish troops, possibly under the command of Bernardo de Galvez, take advantage of the opportunity to attack and force the surrender of the British garrison. The Siege of Pensacola was part of the American Revolution and tends to be underreported because no American troops were involved.
