Neck or Nothing! or Quite the Kick.
Description
English: Design in an oval. A young man (three-quarter length), directed to the right, with arms folded, smiles complacently. His elaborate neck-cloth swathes his chin, his hair, parted in the centre, falls loosely on his forehead and shoulders. He holds a looped hat. 'The kick' denotes the present fashion. Grose, 'Dict. Vulg. Tongue', 1796. Cf. BMSat 8191. For the series see BMSat 9101, &c. c.1797

[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.
