Description
English: Plate 5: Above the design: 'French Habits, N° 5'. Horne Tooke stands directed to the left, behind a table covered with a green cloth. His arm-chair is behind him (right). His right hand is on a hand-bill, his left is outstretched admonishingly. He looks with a severe frown in the direction to which he points. Behind his chair against the wall is a table of the 'Droit de l'Homme'; beside it hangs a tricolour flag. He wears (correctly) a plain black suit over which is a tricolour scarf. On the table is his round hat with small tricolour scarf and tricolour feather. On the sides of the table are partly visible the fasces which were an emblem of the Republic. Behind is a wall with Ionic pilasters. 18 April 1798

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) See BMSat 9196. On 22 Apr. Canning wrote to Gillray: 'It is particularly wished that the Print of Mr Sheridan N° 5 of the French Habits, which Mr Gillray was so good as to send for inspection to-day, may not be published. If Mr G. can call to-morrow the reason will be explained to him.' B.M. Add. MSS. 27337, fo. 92. The reason doubtless was the kindness shown to Canning by Sheridan at the beginning of his career. See Bagot, 'Canning and his Friends', i. 19. Cobbett wrote, 21 Nov. 1803 (ignorant of Canning's intervention): 'the print was actually on sale for two days, at the end of which time it was not suppressed, nor destroyed, but changed, by the taking out of your face and putting that of Horne Tooke in its stead, according to which metamorphosis it has been exhibited and sold ever since! - there is nothing that meddles with type-metal or lamp-black which is not your friend. . . .' 'Cobbetts Annual Register', iv. 740. An impression of the suppressed state with the head of Sheridan is in the Gillray Collection in the House of Lords Library.

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:
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. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
