English: Singerie copy of Hogarth's painting, 'A woman swearing a child to a grave citizen'; a pregnant young woman with the face of a cat standing to right, swearing on a book before a monkey-faced magistrate who sits at a bench to left, that the child is by an old man who raises his hands and eyes to heaven, protesting innocence; his cat-faced wife shakes her fist, upbraiding him, and the true father, a young man with a monkey's face, crouches behind the woman, whispering counsel; beside the magistrate to left, two animal-faced children play; state republished 1794. 1772

[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. ![]() |
