In a celebratory ivory plaque, Bernardo de Galvez protects
mother and children while the British Lion cowers at his feet.

This plaque was presented to Spanish Govenor Bernardo de Galvez,
by the Americans who were fleeing for their lives
during the War of Independence.

This Plaque was given in gratitude by the American
Rebels for the protection that Hispanics gave
them against their British foe.
