Description |
English: Copy of scene outside an inn with the sign of 'The Weighing House', with nine men being assessed along a scale of gravity to levity; at right a man by the inn door operates a pulley to raise a magnet from the crossbeam of the inn sign; the men are balanced in a semi-circle from 'A', 'absolute Gravity', standing on his head, to 'I', 'absolute Levity or Stark Fool', in the middle of the air just beneath the magnet; at the centre, horizontally balanced and with nonchalant expression, is E, 'good Sence'; illustration to Clubbe's 'Miscellaneous Tracts' (1770)?

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. |
