Description |
English: Fox reclines on a blanket laid on straw, clad only in breeches and a pair of unlatched shoes. He wears a crown made of twisted straw and in his right hand is a bunch of straw which he holds as a sceptre. Sam House stands (left) outside a thin partition putting his head through a small rectangular aperture to look at Fox; he says, "Ah poor Charley I thought it would come to this." Fox says, "Do you not behold friend Sam I have obtained the height of all my wishes." ? April 1784

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. ![]() |
