Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) Similar in intention to BMSat 8459, the Hampshire hog (cf. BMSat 6016) taking the place of the Essex calf; see also the Suffolk rats of BMSat 8597. The Fencible regiments, for home defence, differed from the Militia in not being chosen by ballot. See Fortescue, 'The County Lieutenancies and the Army', 1909, pp. 4, 6; I. H. M. Scobie, 'An Old Highland Fencible Corps', 1914, pp. 3-7. |

[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. |
