[Emblematical print adapted to the times], British Cartoon Print

Print shows Britannia conferring with Neptune over the upstart America; they sit on the shore, presumably of England, and point to a man seated on the opposite shore holding a striped flag with 26 (13 white and 13 dark) stripes, and the Gallic cock perched on his right shoulder. In the background, Fame, carrying a British flag, flies above the British fleet engaged in battle with the French fleet, recently allied with the American colonies.
