Rodney (right) stands holding an ensign flag, looking towards three French Admirals in a state of humiliation. Their names are indicated by numbers referring to notes below the design.  (1) Rodney ("Admiral Ro ... y") is taking a pinch of snuff with a fastidious air, saying, "Damn these stinking Dogs! brought him to Stool by G - d". (2) "De Grasse is crouching down, his hands on his knees, saying, "Cest Matheureux [sic], but we do dese tings wit a good grace". (3) "Vadruvil", i.e. de Vaudreuil, de Grasse's second in command, who took command of the French fleet on the surrender of de Grasse, a fat man, kneels behind de Grasse, holds a chamber-pot which de Grasse is using, and saying,  "Il faut Vassister [sic] dans ses Manœuvres." (4) "Bougainville" (left) runs off in profile to the left, holding out a snuff-box and taking a pinch of snuff, saying, "Ma foi me only run way to avoid de Stink!" De Bougainville, one of Montcalm's  generals in 1759, served as a rear-admiral in the American war, first under  d'Estaing, then under de  Grasse.  The French flag lies on the ground at Rodney's feet, de Grasse and de Vaudreuil stand and kneel upon it.   3 September 1782
