Behind him are ships at anchor against a quay, their sails furled; in front (r.) are bales, a barrel, rolls of material, &c., labelled "For Exportation" and "Success to the Trade of Ireland". He is saying "Arrah, sure they Wont gives us a Free Trade, Nabocklesh [never mind it]". A cannon on a gun-carriage, to which he points, is inscribed "O Lord open thou our Lips and our Mouth shall shew forth thy Praise"; round its mouth is inscribed, "A short Money Bill, a free Trade, or else". With the gun-carriage are bayoneted muskets, a drum and cannon-balls. Above it floats a large flag, bearing a crowned Irish harp inscribed, "Crom a Boo", the motto of several Irish families including the Fitzgeralds. Behind are fortifications. 21 December 1779

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) This represents the Irish Volunteer movement and the demand for a removal of the restrictions on Irish trade. See BMSat 5548 [11], 5653, and 'Ann. Reg.' 1779, pp. 123-8. On William III's birthday, 4 Nov. 1779, the Dublin Volunteers paraded round his monument on College Green which was hung with significant inscriptions; two cannon bore the labels "Free Trade - or this'. Lecky, 'Hist. of England', iv. 1890, p. 598.

The attribution to Owen Roe O'Neill (d. 1649) is significant, and at variance with the character of the Volunteer movement, since he typifies the trained soldier who fights for the independence of his country, and for the resistance of Celtic Ireland to England. S. R. Gardiner in 'D.N.B. Letters' [on Irish politics] were issued as a pamphlet in 1779 by one Pollock under the pseudonym of Owen Roe O'Nial, Lecky, op. cit. Cf. BMSat 5542, 5543 for propaganda apparently intended to rouse the Dublin populace against the English Government. Cf. also BMSat 5548 [11], 5573, 5653, 5659, 5667. For the Dublin Volunteers see also BMSat 5488.

[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 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

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.
