Description |
English: A lady (left) sits at a piano, in back view, playing and singing. Beside her is a man playing the cello. Both sing: "Beviamo tutti tie" [sic]. Two men sit side by side, in profile to the left, one playing the violin, the other the flute. A little girl lying on the floor tilts dangerously the chair of the violinist, who watches intently the couple at the piano. A loutish youth in top-boots (right) plays with a dog whose collar is inscribed 'Anne Jon'. 1 September 1798

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) The lady is identified by Wright and Evans as Mrs. Billington, who lived with the Duke of Sussex during her (second) husband's absence: the husband, on surprising her with Sussex and others, took her to Italy. This incident, if authentic, must belong to 1817 or 1818. In 1798 Mrs. Billington was in Italy, a widow, not yet remarried. She left England in 1794, returning in 1801. Nor can 'Sussex' refer to the Duke: Prince Augustus Frederick was not given a peerage till 27 Nov. 1801. Grego, 'Gillray', p. 254. Wright and Evans, No. 449. Reprinted, 'G.W.G.', 1830. Reproduced, Angelo, 'Reminiscences', 1904, ii. 9. |

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. ![]() |
