EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "An English Jack-tar Giving Monsieur a Drubbing: A Satirical Take on the Naval Battle of Ushant and the Controversial Role of Admiral Keppel" This satirical print, published on May 1, 1779, captures the heated tensions between England and France during the late 18th century, specifically in relation to the naval battle of Ushant in July 1778. The cartoon depicts an English sailor, identified as a "jack-tar," brutally attacking a French nobleman, who is being mauled by a dog as his poodle yelps in fear. The background features the British warship "Victory," which played a significant role in the battle. The sign above the pub door reads "Keppels Cordial" and "Harlands Intire," with a portrait of Admiral Sir Edward Boscawen Keppel displayed. The reference to Keppel is acrimonious, as he was court-martialed following the Ushant battle for his conduct during the engagement. Sir Hugh Palliser, the First Lord of the Admiralty, was believed to have set Keppel up for the court-martial. Despite the controversy surrounding Keppel, the common sailors rallied behind him, as evidenced by the title of the pub. The print's creator, likely a supporter of Keppel, uses this satirical image to poke fun at the French nobility and to champion the cause of the embattled English admiral. The print's publication date, May 1, 1779, suggests that the controversy surrounding Keppel's court-martial was still a hot topic at the time.
