Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) A scene at the Spa Fields Pantheon which was open from 1770 till March 1774 when the buildings were announced for sale owing to the proprietor's bankruptcy. In the 'Macaroni Magazine' for January 1773, p. 162, is the notice, "Pantheons: The Nobility's, Oxford Road; the Mobility's, Spa Fields". A writer in the 'St. James's Chronicle', May 1772, professed to have been shocked at the request from more than one lady, "Pray, Sir, will you treat me with a dish of tea". Wroth, 'London Pleasure Gardens of the Eighteenth Century', 1896, pp. 25-8. (Supplementary information) See also the reduced version: 2010,7081.2002 |

[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. ![]() |
