notes:
Commander in Chief of the Continental Navy from 1775 to 1777, Hopkins was dismissed by the United States Congress in 1778. He served in the Rhode Island legislature until his death in 1802. Here the flag in the background is striped; the striped flag was often used to represent the American flag.This engraving is after the mezzotint probably engraved by R. Purcell under the pseudonym of C. Corbutt and one of a series done to supply the British public with (fictitious) portraits of American military leaders.
