Description |
English: Scene in a sitting room interior, on the window to which can be seen in reverse the sign 'lodgings to lett': in front of a chaise-longue, a man in fashionable clothes but with slightly grotesqued pointed nose and chin takes a young lady by both hands, in a pose reminiscent of a dance; he asks 'Pray miss, are you to be lett with the lodgings?', she, smiling, answers, 'No, sir. I am - to be let alone', he responds, 'Oh! very well, if you are to be lett alone! I'll hire you, & d--n the lodgings!!!'. 1814

Licensing
[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. ![]() |
