| Notes | See biographical note on Sympson for information on prints supposedly etched by him after Hogarth's design. Paulson suggests that the figure of Figg may have been put together from figures that have been identified as Figg in other prints by Hogarth: the fallen drinker in 'A Midnight Modern Conversation' and the broadsword fighter in 'Southwark Fair' (Paulson 1989, cat. nos. 128, 131). | |||||||||||||||||||||||

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.  | ||||
