Title
The Coxheath race for £100, no corssing nor jostling, won by Miss Tittup Agt Tumbling Jenny
Description
English: Three ladies ride from r. to left.; all are dressed in large cockaded hats with ostrich feathers, and military coats. The foremost, holding up a large riding switch, turns round to look at the two behind her. The next horse is falling on his knees, his somewhat stout rider has lost her seat and her stirrups and is about to fall head-first, her hat and riding switch are on the ground. The last rider appears to be holding back her horse. Two dogs run beside the horses. 19 October 1779

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935)

They are perhaps intended for the 'Three Graces of Coxheath', see BMSat 5600, in which case 'Tumbling Jenny' would be Jane Maxwell, Duchess of Gordon ('Jenny of Monteith'). For satires on Coxheath Camp see BMSat 5523, &c. 'Miss Tittup' is a character in Garrick's 'Bon Ton' (1775), cf. BMSat 5518.

[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 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.
