The View depicts the seige of Spanish St. Augustine in Florida by the British led by General Oglethorpe. Notes and key appear at the bottom of the image.
The Siege of St. Augustine was a part of the War of Jenkins' Ear during which England and her colonies attacked Spanish colonies in the Americas. After some mutual minor skirmishes, Governor Oglethorpe of the colony of Georgia raised a mixed force of British regulars, the 'Old' 42nd Regiment of Foot, colonial milita from Georgia and Carolina, Hugh MacKaye's Highlanders and American Creek and Chickasaw, or Uchee Indians. The British never were successful., Jolly Gent-12
