For or against is equally alike |

Description |
English: A Dutchman stands full-face, his right hand on his bulging breeches pocket, his left forefinger to his lips. He says "Let them fight I'll sack the chink". He stands on the sea-shore; at his feet are a box inscribed "Dollors" and a bale of goods. On the horizon an English and a French man-of-war are blowing each other to pieces, both ships appear to be sinking in clouds of smoke. 27 March 1780

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) Holland was using her neutrality to make large profits out of the war, especially in carrying naval stores, see BMSat 5557, &c. She is usually represented as anti-British, cf. BMSat 5628, &c. |

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:
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. |
