Notes |
A version of 1935,0522.2.9 published by John and Carington Bowles (BM Satires 3794). The style suggests that both prints are based on the work of Louis Philippe Boitard, but it is not clear which print was copied from the other. See also 1948,0214.500 for an earlier print with a similar subject and the same verses. |

[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. ![]() |
