Title
[City militia.]
Description
English: A companion print to BMSat 7613. A row of five very unsoldierly citizen-soldiers is being drilled by an officer (right), who stands at one end of the file in profile to the left, giving orders with a drawn sword. A stout officer stands opposite him in back view; he holds a sword, and has a long pigtail queue. The two men on the extreme left talk together, supporting themselves on the butt of their muskets. The other three hold bayoneted muskets at different angles. The man on the extreme right has a wooden leg, his bayonet is curved like a sickle. All wear civilian dress with cocked hats. In front of them, apparently in the kennel or gutter, lie a dead cat and two large stones. Cf. BMSat 7458. 1789

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
