The Common wealth ruleing with a standing Army |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Frontispiece to Thomas May's "Arbitrary Government Display'd" warning of the dangers of a return to republicanism. The Commonwealth is represented as a dragon: parliament sits in the belly of the beast; his neck has representations of armed troops; his tail, ironically lettered "Liberties", is a chain encircling the people; he defecates "Taxes", "Excise", "Monthly Assessments", "Loanmoney", "Oaths of Covenants", "Ingagements" and "Abjuration"; a label comes from his mouth saying, "A blessed reformation"; before him is spread, "Food for a Commonwealth" comprising, "Laws", "Customs", "Statutes", "Magna Charta/prerogative/privileges/Liberties", "Episcopy", "Monarchey", "Church Land & tytlis", "nobility & House of peers", "gaine". 1683

[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. ![]() |
