Return from a Masquerade - a morning scene |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Two grinning chairmen, walking diagonally right to left. towards the spectator, carry a sedan-chair, from the side window of which hang the head and shoulders of a lady, asleep or drunk, her left arm hanging down outside the chair. She is dressed as a shepherdess, a garland of flowers in her hair; in her right hand is a crook which also projects through the window. Beside the chair (right) walks a little grinning chimney-sweep, very broad and short, with soot-bag and brush, but with a striped turban or cloth on his head and holding up a smiling mask. The chair is crossing an open space or wide street, probably Covent Garden, with houses in the background. 1784

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) A chimney-sweeper was a not unusual character at a masquerade, and it was sometimes said that real sweeps, butchers, &c, posing as masks, visited masquerades. (Supplementary information) Dighton's original watercolour for this print from the collection of Mr Jeffrey Rose was sold at Sotheby's, 23 February 1978, lot 74. An impression with Andrew Edmunds in 2015 was dated 2 February 1784. |

[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. ![]() |
