Title
Lord B- boxing a Butcher at Brighton
Description
English: Lord Barrymore (left), very tall and thin, fights a butcher (right), who is short and stout, and who recoils with a bleeding nose. Barrymore, towering over his antagonist, says, "My precious Eyes and long Limbs - I'll lamb you - I'll teach you you dog now to encourage Brutes to engage in the Human exercise of fighting for Fun." He wears a striped waistcoat with a high collar, his shirt-sleeves rolled up. A dwarfish man (left) wearing a high-crowned hat, holds his coat and says, "Give it the dirty Blackguard well my dear Lord for setting his nasty Dog on my poor Pompey". On the extreme right two dogs are fighting. Beneath the title is etched: 'For having dared to give his Lordship indecent Language, because he reproved him for setting two dogs Fighting on Thursday last when he was walking in the Square.' 4 September 1791

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 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.
