Abstract:
Admiral Rodney is depicted receiving the submission of the defeated De Grasse after the Battle of the Saints, as English sailors bring ashore the spoils of war, and chagrined politicians Fox, Keppel, and the Duke of Richmond look on from the left, with Sandwich and North behind them. Contrasts the new ministry's hostility to the popular Rodney with the rewarding of the incompetent Keppel (Admiral "Lee-shore.").
