Description
English: Satirical illustration to "The Whigs Unmask'd: Being the Secret History of the Calf's Head Club" (1713), showing a riot in Bloomsbury in 1712. Troopers entering from the left beside what is presumably intended to be Bedford House disperse rioters by force. In the background, within the railings of Bloomsbury Square rioters are feeding a bonfire; three men carry a barrel of tar or beer; others lean on the rail outside a tavern from which hangs the sign of the half-moon.

Notes

The related text on pp. 129-131 of the book (quoted by Stephens) suggests that the riot was instigated by a Scottish Lord (probably the Earl of Ilay) and "a certain Whiggish peer" who attempted to get the Tory mob drunk so that they would shout "Confusion to the High Church and Dr Sacheverell"; in the event they maintained their support for the Queen. For the Calves' Head Club, and for related illustrations, see 1858,0626.651.1.

This impression is mounted on an old album sheet with a press-cutting (1860,0623.111.39) advertising theatrical performances in London; it is annotated "1711"

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 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

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.
