Notes |
The print is signed William Loggan, Oxford, which stands most probably for de Hooghe. Of this satire three versions are known, all printed from different plates. For another impression of the same sheet, see BM 1864-8-13-273. For the two other versions, both with the image in reverse, see BM Satire Cat 1118 (BM Y.1-79) and BM Satire Cat 1119. The altered plate was also reprinted in the 1707 edition of "Roma Perturbata" (see BM 1873-5-10-2716).

[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. |
