Title
Squire Thomas just arrived
Description
English: Street scene; a fat man, plainly dressed and wearing riding-boots, is being dragged into a brothel by three fashionably dressed courtesans. One kisses him, one pulls, the third pushes him towards an open door (left) over which is a projecting sign, a calf's head in a dish inscribed "The Old, Calfs Head, Lodgings for Single Men by Sb Fleecem". The door lintel is inscribed "Kind & Tender Usage". The man holds out his hands in protest with an expression of dismay. A dwarfish ragged girl (right) appears to be picking his pocket. A fat old procuress (left) looks on laughing. A small dog (left) and the overturned equipment of a shoe-black (right) add to the confusion. In the background two men are in conversation, one smoking. After the title is engraved, "Touch me not! I'm still a Maid." 18 November 1778

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 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

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.
