Title
Embarking at Dice-Quay for Margate
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

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.
