Title
La Parisienne à Londres
Description
English: Plate 12: A very elegant lady advances (left to right) as if in a ball-room, with a cavalier who holds the tips of her fingers and bows to a stolid English family walking in the opposite direction. She makes a graceful inclination of the head. John Bull has taken off his hat, but his two daughters march forward like grenadiers, staring at the French couple. There are also in the family party two young men and a lady with a sunshade, her head concealed by a poke bonnet. The background may be intended for Hyde Park; the landscape is completely rural and a horse-race is in progress. Above the design, Caricatures &a'. 1802

(Supplementary information)

See 1856,0712.596 for comment on the series. This plate was copied in 'London und Paris' X (1802) pp.182-3, which claims that the lady is Mme Récamier. Dorothy George states that the design is after Carle Vernet, but gives no evidence. For a duplicate impression, see 1868,0808.248.

[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.

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.
