Favet, [An II, 1793]. Cover (446 x 36 cm). On August 28, 1793, Admirals Samuel HOOD and Juan de LANGARA had landed 17,000 men in the Bay of Islettes: 2,000 British, 7,000 Spanish, 6,000 Neapolitans and 2,000 Piedmontese. The Republic urged the squadron to resist. In vain. Toulon was handed over to the British, and the armies of the Republic laid siege to it, during which the young BONAPARTE distinguished himself.
