Title
Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, Esqr from a drawing by himself
Description
English: Sharpe stands directed to the right, grasping a closed umbrella in his (gloved) rught hand, some small object in the left. He has grotesquely big ears, small eyes, large nose and mouth. He wears no hat, a coat to the knee, trousers to the ankle, and pumps. Behind, a row of mean houses in 'Modern Athens', is indicated, one placarded 'Sale'. A tiny man and woman in outlandish quasi-fashionable dress, the latter with a huge over-trimmed hat, are in the background. 1831

Notes

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954)

Sharpe (1781?-1851) was antiquary and amateur artist of satirical and fantastic subjects. According to the 'D.N.B.' he retained the costume of his early manhood to the end of his life.

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
