Title
Elopement from Bristol- or too many for the Bristol bumbrusher.
Description
English: A carriage with four horses is driven rapidly (right to left) by two postillions, a signpost (left) pointing 'To Gretna Green'. Within it a young man is embracing a young girl, who holds a pistol in her right hand while she flings her doll through the window on her left. They are followed by a man on a galloping horse (right) who wears an apothecary's mortar on his head and flourishes a pestle in place of a whip. Beneath the title is etched: 'Miss Clerke, is the niece of the late Mr Ogilvie, of Banff, in Scotland, from whom she inherits a fortune of 6000 l. per annum - She is about fourteen years of age, and was sent from Scotland to a Boarding School in Bristol, to finish her education - Her gallant is said to be Mr P-----y, a Surgeon, of Bristol, who procured her absence from the School under the pretext of a visit to her Guardian from whom a counterfeit letter was produced and on Saturday night the 19 of March the happy pair escaped to the Caledonian Temple of Hymen!' 25 March 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:
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.
