Français : Premier bombardment de Saint Malo le 26 Novembre, 1693, par les Anglais.
Ce dessin aquarellé, reproduisant fidèlement les monuments emblématiques de Saint-Malo et les îles du grand Bé et du petit Bé visibles au premier plan, revient sur un épisode marquant de l'histoire de la ville : le bombardement anglo-hollandais du 26 novembre 1693. L'opération, restée célèbre pour l'utilisation par les anglais d'une « machine infernale », un brûlot rempli de poudre à canon, va faire trembler les murs de toutes les maisons environnantes mais sera un échec militaire et ne causera aucune perte humaine, peut-être grâce aux remparts malouins récemment renforcés par Vauban à la demande de Louis XIV.English: First bombardment of Saint Malo on 26 November, 1693, by the English.
This watercolour drawing, faithfully reproducing the emblematic monuments of Saint-Malo and the islands of Grand Bé and Petit Bé visible in the foreground, looks back on a significant episode in the history of the city: the Anglo-Dutch bombardment of November 26, 1693 . The operation, famous for the use by the English of an "infernal machine", a firebrand filled with gunpowder, will shake the walls of all the surrounding houses but will be a military failure and will not cause any human loss, perhaps thanks to the Saint-Malo ramparts recently reinforced by Vauban at the request of Louis XIV. |
