print, satirical print
Description
English: A satire on gin drinking in which all the male figures have been given the heads of monkeys and the women those of cats. A group of drinkers are in a cellar, lit by an overhead lantern and dominated by a large barrel set on bricks, a man sprawls on top of the barrel smoking and pouring gin from a flask into a glass. Another man in the foreground with a pipe in his mouth, seen from behind, holds a pitcher, both look at a woman in a ragged apron standing beside the barrel who leans on a stick and vomits. She is supported from behind by a man holding a large smoking candle. Another man with a wooden leg and a crutch stands to right looking at the scene. On the other side of the barrel another woman crouches on the floor and vomits, she is supported behind by a vomiting man who wears a badge on a chain around his neck. In the background on the left are a man with a crutch and a woman sitting by a barrel table, and on the right a woman stands behind a low counter pouring a drink, and two men are drinking.

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.
