Notes The composition of this drawing is in the same sense as Hogarth's engraving in 'Industry and Idleness', Pl 12, and has clearly been adapted from it. Boitard was the son of a French immigrant to England and achieved a considerable reputation as a designer and engraver of satirical prints, book illustrations and portraits. His handling of pen and wash has affinities with Hogarth, combined with the rococo manner of his countryman Gravelot and it is on these grounds that the drawing was attributed to his hand by Lindsay Stainton when it was purchased by the Museum.

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.
