Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', IX, 1949) A satire on heavy taxation and the distress of 1816 (see No. 12779, &c.). which greatly increased the burden of poor rates: John Bull's only defence is Reform. The chief topics at numerous meetings in England and Ireland were Reform of Parliament, i.e. manhood suffrage and annual parliaments, and retrenchment, especially the abolition of sinecures and pensions, cf. No. 12781, and the reduction of army expenditure, cf. No. 12756. Also a worn impression (coloured) with imprint removed, and the serial number altered to 195. |

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. 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. |
