Description |
English: A satire on marriage and indolent clergy set in a domestic interior. The husband, a portly middle-aged clergyman, is fast asleep with a pipe in his hand and a glass, a large jug and a snuff-box on the table beside him; his walking stick rests against the wall. His pretty young wife is seated on the other side of the table and is caressed by a young offier. Her small daughter sits beside her playing with a doll dressed as a soldier and ignoring a smaller doll dressed as a parson which she has pushed aside. The child sits on a book lettered "On ye Lawfulness of Pluralities"; two other books lie beside another pitcher, one of which is lettered, "The first Lesson for the Evening Service"; on the floor beside the parson is a book of "Select Sermons", open at "Discourse the 1st On the Duty of Watchfulness". A dog lies asleep beside the parson and in front of the fire; on the mantelpiece are more pipes, lemons, a punch bowl, a bottle labelled "Brandy". Behind is a screen over which the officer has thrown his greatcoat and on which he has hung his hat; a large bird, released from a cage that hangs over the table, pecks at the cockade on the hat. On the left, a violin hangs on the wall, and a cupboad is open to show two more books and a wine bottle. 20 November 1768

[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. ![]() |
