Description |
English: Each has a caption in the upper margin. They stand in profile to the left, except [3] who is full face. [1] Romancing Molly. A maidservant, basket on her arm, house-key in her hand. She asks: Hav'nt you no Rum-ances in 5 Wollums?— [2] Sir Larry Luscious—, spindle-shanked and elderly; he asks: Have you the last of Harritte Wilson—? [see BM Satires 14828, &c.]. [3] A burly Political Dustman—, his shirt-sleeves rolled up: I vants a Cobbett [i.e. a 'Political Register']. [4] Frank a la Mode, a heavily whiskered dandy, holding his eye-glass, asks: Pray is a Waverley's New Novel out—? [cf. BM Satires 14825]. Beside him is a poodle clipped in the French manner. Aug 7 1826

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. ![]() |
