Title |
The City Up and Down or the Candidates Poiz'd |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A satire on the "Jew Bill" and the 1754 general election with candidates for the City of London sitting in a fairground wheel (an "up and down") in an open space beside a river, each placed according to his current position in the ballot: Sir John Barnard, Slingsby Bethel, William Beckford (at the top in a seat numbered 1); Sir Richard Glyn (to the left); Sir Robert Ladbroke (to the right, somewhat lower and numbered 5); Sir William Calvert and Sir Crisp Gascoyne (at the bottom and numbered 6 and 7). A group of Jewish men are crowding around Calvert and promising their support; Mary Squires, the "old Gipsy", whose life Gascoyne had saved by uncovering the perjury of Elizabeth Canning, is praising him; beside her stands Vertue Hall, a young woman who had acted as witness in the Canning trial. Other bystanders praise the beer made by Calvert and Gascoyne, both brewers, and Ladbroke's gin. To the right, on the other side of the river, stands Samson Gideon wishing he could use his wealth to affect the election; the devil stands behind him regretting that Gideon cannot assist him to achieve success. March 1754

[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. |
