Description |
English: A companion print to BMSat 8401. Family parties walk towards a sailing vessel which lies (left) below the level of the quay, and is placarded: 'Dispatch Pack[et] Sails for Marga[te] on Monday at 9 Oclock'. A woman with her husband and little boy stands disputing with a coachman (right). Young women, dressed in the fashion of c. 1790, with high-crowned hats, prepare to embark; one is already on board. In the foreground (left) is a pile of goods including long sacks (? hop pockets) inscribed 'Greenhithe, Kent', with other letters and symbols. The signature 'C.A del 1788' is on a packing-case. A little boy punctures a cask and sucks his finger, not noticing a man who threatens him with a stick. In the background is London Bridge and a group of crowded buildings on the Surrey side. On the right is a high timber structure. 29 June 1793

[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. ![]() |
