Title |
Damp sheets. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: The interior of an inn bedroom. A man and a good-looking woman stand in night-attire with bare legs holding a sheet; a buxom chambermaid with a warming-pan enters (right); the man, who is lean and elderly, shakes his left fist in her face; she gapes stupidly. On the ground is a trunk, a pair of top-boots, a boot-jack, stays, and shoes. A lighted candle is in a basin on the floor (left). Behind is a large curtained bed with disordered bed-clothes. A door with carved panels indicates a dignified room. 1 August 1791.

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. |

Metadata
This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
