Title
Pretty Bob. Poor Bob- Bandy Bob.-
Description
English: A sequence of three designs, each with title. [1] A well-dressed, healthy, and smiling child holds a hoop. [2] The same child transformed into a climbing boy, 'calling the streets', with his soot-bag and brushes. He is a black, tragic figure, ragged, with bare stick-like legs, and reddened hands and feet. Snow is on the ground. [3] He stands gnawing a piece of bread and holding his brush. His soot-bag, cap (with the statutory brass plate for his master's name), and shovel are on the ground. He has become sturdier, but deformed, with bandy legs and knock-kneed.

Notes

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', IX, 1949) A plea for the Chimney Sweepers Regulation Bill forbidding the use of climbing boys; it was brought in in February, passed the Commons but was defeated in the Lords by Lauderdale (see vols. vii, viii). A second Bill not forbidding the use of boys was introduced in March, again defeated in the Lords. 'Parl. Deb.' xxxix. 426, 547, 899, 981, &c.; Smart, 'Econ. Annals of the Nineteenth Century', 1910, i. 713-16. The drawing was sent by Sneyd to G. Humphrey, with a MS. tale by Maria Edgworth, apparently never published: Humphrey returned the MS., saying he would put the matter in hand immediately. Bagot, 'Canning and his Friends', 1909, i. 226 f. The plate was used also as frontispiece to a pamphlet: 'The History of Poor Bob, the Chimney Sweeper', pub. G. Humphrey, 1819. (Cohn, No. 670.)

[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.
