Description |
English: Portrait (three-quarter length) of a man seated in a chair in profile to the right, addressing a rat which he holds in his right hand, his left fore-finger raised admonishingly, saying "God dammuck the devil a bit nothing at all Signify to me, you be one damm Rat you broil very well". He is thin and old and wears spectacles, but is neatly dressed. His bag-wig is well curled and his shirt is ruffled. His right elbow rests on an oval table on which is an open rat-trap; beside it lies the dead body of a rat, labelled "for Supper". On the table (left) are also a cracked chamber-pot and a wig-block. 25 May 1780

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) On the print is written in an old hand, "Nobody Know wat sort a man I be". On the back of one impression is "Marini an Italian painter", but according to the 'Catalogue' of Cosway by F. B. Daniell, this is Magnini a picture-dealer with whom Cosway probably quarrelled, as on the impression in the possession of Sir Philip Currie is written in a contemporary hand, "Cosway had this print etched in ridicule of him". Perhaps Gaetano Manini, painter, of Milan. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
