A Nurse for the Hess-ns |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Satire on German mercenaries fighting for Britain; a cottage interior with a nurse rocking a cradle in which a Hessian soldier lies with the white horse of Hanover (a label states that 80 crowns will be paid if he dies); a Hessian grenadier sits by the fire (a label states that 30 crowns will be paid if he dies); a large print of a soldier pasted to the wall alludes to Charles XII of Sweden; beyond is a view of a village where sacks are being filled with money for the mercenaries.

[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. 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. |
