Notes

The original watercolour was sold at Sothebys, from the collection of the late Jeffrey Rose, 23/2/1978 (13/5).

Clearly a republished state given the cleared space under the publishers' name.

One of a number of half-length caricatures in ovals or roundels after Dighton. The majority are published by Bowles & Carver in the 1790s, but since some are published by Carington Bowles in the 1780s and earlier states of others published by him are known, all those published by Bowles & Carver are probably republished states of plates originally issued by Carington.

[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:
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 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.
