HET COMMITTE' VAN UITGEWEKENEN. (Refugees) |

| Description |
English: The patriots (known as 'Bataves', who had emigrated in 1787 after their defeat by the Anglo-Prussian alliance, see BMSat 7178, &c.) approach the committee (apparently two French Représentants en Mission) with requests for money and clothes. Four men stand obsequiously on the right, two with papers inscribed 'Request'. From the pocket of one (right), dressed as a soldier, projects a carriage-lamp (which he is alleged in the text to have stolen). One Frenchman (wearing a scarf inscribed 'Representant'), holding a pair of breeches, puts money into an outstretched palm. The other haughtily watches the suppliants. On the left an old Jew measures a patriot wearing sabots, his coat inscribed 'N° 25', for a suit of clothes. Behind him is a wall from which projects a sign: 'Nathan Levi Uitdraager en Kleermaaker' [broker and tailor]. On the wall are four pegs, from one hangs a 'Capts Pack': coat, boots, and sword, from another a 'Lts Pack': coat and sword. Between them hangs a small empty bag of 'Courage Militais' [sic], and on the right a mask. Behind the suppliants is a door (right) above which is a notice surmounted by a cap of liberty: 'Nederlandsche \ Societeÿt \ Vry Wÿn en Moll' [Wine and beer gratis]. On the door: 'gebranndte Waateren te koop' [brandy for sale]. Text, 'Proverbs', xiii. 21. 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:
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.  | ||||
