Don Volaseo. The famous Spanish partizan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A man in the dress of a military officer seated on a horse in profile to the right. He holds a drawn sabre in his right hand. He wears spectacles and resembles caricature portraits of Burke. In the middle distance is a large military tent or marquee, like those in representations of the camps at Coxheath and Warley. In front of it, at a small round table, sits a lady drinking wine and gazing at the cavalier. On the sky-line is the façade of a house, the pediment of which has been grotesquely elevated into a steeple, perhaps intended for Gregories, Burke's country house. 21 November 1781

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) Perhaps a satire on Burke's attitude to the war. He had violently attacked the confiscation of property on the Dutch island of St. Eustatius, see BMSat 5842, which included the property of Dutchmen, Americans, French, and Spaniards. 'Parl. Hist.' xxii. 218 ff., 769 ff. |

[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. ![]() |
