Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) America turns away from "her mistaken mother" holding a fleur-de-lys symbolizing the French alliance. The "pretty man" with the "red heel shoes" is Lord Carlisle, said by the Duke of Richmond to be unsuited to treat with the homely Americans, see BMSat 5474. A scurrilous poem, 'An Ode addressed to the Scotch Junto and their American Commission . . .', 1778, has a line "C-rl------le's vermilion'd Heels". B.M.L. 643, k. 14/1. (Supplementary information) A re-issue dated 12 May 1794 of a plate first issued by Darly on 11 May 1778. |

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. ![]() |
