Description |
English: One of a series of illustrations to Tristram Shandy, see BMSat 5213-15. Dr. Slop and Susannah exchanging abuse. Susannah (right) stands behind the cradle in which lies the infant Tristram, a plaster across his nose. A lighted candle is in her left hand; with her right she holds the bridge of her nose, looking at the doctor with a face of fury, her mouth wide open. Dr. Slop stands scowling, his legs wide apart, the cataplasm in a ladle in his right hand; he threatens Susannah with his fist. His wig is blazing, his hat lies on the floor. A chair has been overturned and lies by the cradle. Obadiah is hurrying into the room from the left, a basin in his right hand, a bottle under his right arm, a chamber-pot in his left hand. Behind is a screen, nine leaves of which are visible. A large grandfather clock pointing to 6.15 stands by the wall (right); a table with two medicine bottles appears from behind the screen. On the wall are two portraits. Beneath the design is engraved,

[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. ![]() |
