Title
Faro's daughters. or the Kenyonian blow up to gamblers.
Description
English: Three ladies stand in three pillories, two on small low platforms, the third resting the tips of her toes on a pair of stocks, straddling across Fox (see BMSat 8877), who sits between the legs of the prisoner which he holds firmly, his own feet projecting through the stocks, one shoeless and in a ragged stocking; his expression is melancholy. In the foreground (left), Lord Kenyon in wig and gown, seated on the ground, crouches over a bonfire of implements of gaming: a broken table, dice-boxes, and cards. The three pillories are marked with letters to indicate their occupants. [In another impression these letters have been scraped out] On the left 'S' indicates Mrs. Sturt, a middle-aged woman, her head in profile to the right. In the centre, 'A' for Lady Archer whose vulture-profile is unmistakable. On the right 'C.' indicates Mrs. Concannon, a pretty young woman, full-face, with bare breasts, who indecorously bestraddles Fox. In the background a fourth pilloried lady stands in back view, her petticoats looped up and attached to the pillory, exposing her bare posteriors. (Perhaps Lady Buckinghamshire, but not resembling her in figure.) A crowd of spectators is indicated. On the extreme left stands another judge; his profile suggests Loughborough. 16 May 1796

[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.
