Charity begins at home |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A stout parson (left) riding a good horse towards the spectators on a country road is accosted by a ragged sailor with a wooden leg who holds out his hat to beg. The parson, who is putting a flask to his mouth, scowls at the sailor. A country-girl (right) holding a basket of chickens, apparently for tithe, is counting some money, and a small boy has put down the basket he was carrying to search in his pocket. Although burdened with tithe they are more charitable than the well-to-do parson. c.1780

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. ![]() |
