Title
Coalition The fox and badger both in a hole
Description
English: An opening or cave in the side of a hill inside which sit facing each other, on their hind-legs, a corpulent badger (left) and a fox (right). The badger is adorned with a wide Garter ribbon, a shirt-frill, and a black bow which indicates the 'bag' which was the appendage to a wig. The front of the cave is wreathed with vines bearing many bunches of grapes. The badger (North) says,



"The grapes which round this Cavern grow in plenty
My new Friend Fox will prove to each a dainty."

The fox (Charles Fox) says,

Tho once I stunk you from your Hole
You now are welcome in upon my Soul"

Outside the cave (left) stands the Devil with horns, wings, satyr's legs, and a tail. He points at the couple within with his right hand, holding up his left and saying

"He he he------he
They both are for me." 27 March 1783

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.
