right arm, is held in his left hand. The loss of
his right arm is concealed by the Flag which
the Genius of victory is lowering to him & under
the folds of which Death lies in ambush for
his victim by which it is indicated that he
recieved the reward of victory and the stroke of
Death at the same time. By the figure of an enraged
british seaman is represented the szeal of the
navy to revenge the loss of its most gallant leader
Brittianna in the back ground with laurels in her
hand and leaning regardless of them on her
spear and shield describing the feelings of
the country fluctiuating between the pride
and anguish of a triumph so dearly purchased.
