"Rodney Triumphant or Admiral Lee Shore in the Dumps" is a notable satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray. Published in 1782, this work is a vivid example of Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to comment on contemporary political and military events through his art. The print captures the public sentiment and political climate of the time, particularly focusing on the naval achievements and controversies surrounding British Admirals during the American Revolutionary War.

The central figure in the print is Admiral George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney, who is celebrated for his naval victories, most notably the Battle of the Saintes in April 1782. This victory was a significant morale booster for the British during a challenging period of the war. Gillray's depiction of Rodney is triumphant, highlighting his status as a national hero. In contrast, the print also features Admiral Hugh Pigot, who is portrayed in a less flattering light, reflecting the criticism he faced for his perceived failures and controversies.

Gillray's work is characterized by its detailed and exaggerated style, which serves to amplify the personalities and events it depicts. "Rodney Triumphant or Admiral Lee Shore in the Dumps" uses visual satire to juxtapose the successes and failures of the Admirals, thereby providing a commentary on the broader implications of their actions for British naval power and national pride.

This print is a part of Gillray's extensive body of work that often targeted political figures and events, using humor and satire to engage the public and provoke thought. It remains an important piece for understanding the role of caricature in 18th-century British society and the ways in which artists like Gillray influenced public opinion and political discourse.
