The Gipsies |

Description |
English: Satire on gipsies. A village scene, in which an old gipsy woman with a baby on her back, reads the palm of a neatly dressed young woman, evidently just come from the church in the background; another young woman leans on her shoulder and a boy with a toy drum stands at her feet look up curiously at the gipsy; a second boy stands behind. A ragged gipsy man and child sit at the old woman's feet gnawing at bones while a dog, drooling, watches them attentively. Their donkey stands behind the man, a scrawny goose's head hanging from a panier; in the background to left, on the far side of a country road, a gipsy woman breast-feeds her baby while a young boy tends a fire on which a cauldron has been placed. A sailor rides along the road, raising a club to beat his horse; an anxious young woman sits behind the sailor, her arms around his waist. On the right is a thatched cottage from the upper window of which leans an old woman knocking two cats off the roof with a broom; at the door stands a Scotsman reading a copy of the "North Briton No. 45"; in front of the ramshackle fence are two turkeys and a milkpail. 10 November 1770

[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. ![]() |
