Title
Here's a health to all good lasses.
Description
English: A fat toping parson, carbuncled and tipsily jovial, leans back in his chair, flinging out a leg and holding up a glass of wine in each hand. His wig is back to front. On the table (left) is a decanter. On the floor beside him is a basket filled with bottles. By it is a newspaper (or ballad) headed 'Windsor and Eton exp . . .' On the wall are two pictures, one of Windsor Castle, the other of three three-quarter length figures: a grinning parson, spectacles on forehead, between a fat black woman and a thin white woman; above: 'How happy could I be with either' [Gay, 'Beggar's Opera'].

Notes

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', IX, 1949) One of prints (coloured) by, after, or attributed to G. Cruikshank [many were closely copied and unless original and copy can be compared they are difficult to distinguish; some attributed by Reid or Cohn to Cruikshank are in the manner of the supposed copyist; some are probably by I. R. Cruikshank], from a set issued c. 1817 to c. 1819 (Nos. 13085-13145; see No. 12949, &c.). Nos. 12692 A, 12997, 13008, 13012, 13013, 13421 belong to the set. The parson is from Gillray's 'Begone dull Care', No. 9769, reversed and altered. Reid, No. 2757. Cohn, No. 1196.

Cohn gives date and publisher as S W Fores, 4 June 1818.

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.
