English: The right portion of a strip design, without title or imprint. On the extreme left a man, looking down and to the left, points a toe. Next, a man* clasps his injured ankle, scowling furiously to the right, behind him stands a lady*, looking at a book held out by another lady (left). Next a couple* dance holding hands, arms held out horizontally. The next couple dance facing each other. On the extreme right a fainting lady sinks back rigidly and is supported (with difficulty) by her partner. Unlettered. 1790?

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) An imitation of BMSat 7229. The figures marked * are copied in reverse in BMSat 7657, a more crowded design in which there are other figures not in this print. The print is perhaps the 'Country Dance' advertised by Holland in BMSat 7685. |

Licensing
[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.  | ||||
