Black and white etching of a harbor scene at night. A large fire rages on the right side with flames and smoke rising high into the air. Several ships are docked in the harbor, some with their sails raised. The water reflects the light from the fire. The sky is filled with smoke. The image has a white border with text at the bottom. The text reads "Conflagration in the Port of Bordeaux" in English, but in French it says "Incendie Dans Le Port De Bordeaux". The image depicts a chaotic and destructive scene.
