Description |
English: A lady, holding on her feathered hat, walks against a high wind which blows her dress against her person, draping her legs from the waist downwards. She holds a small nosegay and is followed by Graham, wearing his accustomed suit of white linen with black stockings; he holds a larger nosegay and stares at the lady. Both are in profile to the right. Behind them is the balustrade of the North Bridge, Edinburgh. 1785

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. ![]() |
