| Description |
English: Two men stand on the pavement outside a door-way under the pediment of which are the royal arms. Beneath them and over the doorway is inscribed, "Lovejoy, Kings arms Tavern", cf. BMSat 4995. This appears to be a representation of the entrance to Covent Garden Theatre. The taller of the two men (l.) has snatched off the other's wig, and holds it up in his right. hand. In his left hand is his sword, broken off below the hilt; his hat is on the ground. Behind and to the right. stands a short stout man with bare shaved head; his hat is in his right. hand. The taller man is dressed in the prevailing macaroni fashion and has a certain resemblance to Colman, then part-proprietor and manager of Covent Garden Theatre, see BMSat 5064. The wig of the other is of the type worn by 'cits', see BMSat 5463. 24 February 1772

[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.  | ||||
