Title |
A St Giles's beauty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A companion print to BMSat 6764. A smiling and buxom young prostitute is seated, full-face, one arm across the back of her chair, the other leaning on a small table on which are a bottle, a glass, and bread. Her hair falls on her shoulders; she holds one end of a kerchief exposing her breast. The room is slatternly, the ceiling is broken, and there is a hole in the floor. The walls are stencilled or papered. Torn bed-curtains hang against the wall over a mattress which is propped against it. On the floor is a bunch of flowers in a chamber-pot. A broadside on the wall is headed by a print of a Tyburn crowd surrounding four bodies hanging from a gallows. Through an open sash-window with broken panes the roofs of houses are seen; behind them is a church steeple. 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. 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. |
