Légende

The Civil War in Spain: bombardment of Hernani, 1874. 'The war in the northern provinces of Spain between the opposing armies of Don Carlos and the Provisional Republican Government of Madrid seems by no means concluded...The sketch [we have] engraved is that of the Carlist bombardment of Hernani, a Basque village on the road from San Sebastian to Tolosa. This place, too, was the scene of an action in the former Carlist war. The British Legion, under Sir De Lacy Evans, was here repulsed from an attack upon the Carlist position at Santa Barbara, on March 16, 1837. The disaster seems to have been due to the misconduct of its Spanish allies'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
