Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) Cathcart (1755-1843), a distinguished officer, vice-admiral of Scotland, Colonel of the 2nd Life Guards, succeeded Lord Amherst as Gold Stick in 1797. 'D.N.B.' See BMSat 9019. The original water-colour, by an amateur, with the same title is in the Print Room [1854,0513.302/PDB28742]. Gillray has altered the shape of the legs, making them shapeless posts like those he gives Lord Salisbury, and has elongated the shoes. Beneath is written: 'Hint-The Legs a little too short but not to alter the length of the coat.' The figure is on a smaller scale. Grego, 'Gillray', p. 271. Wright and Evans, No. 460. Reprinted 'G.W.G.', 1830. |

[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. ![]() |
