Title
The catch singers. Real characters.
Description
English: Three catch singers (half-length) seated round a small circular table on which is a punch-bowl. Two sit facing each other in profile, each has a punch-glass in his hand; the one on the right who resembles Lord Sandwich points his forefinger at his vis-à-vis. The third singer (centre) is on the farther side of the table, looking towards the singer on the right and pointing with his right forefinger to the man on the left.


The scene is lit by one candle standing on the table, on which are also a piece of music (left) and an overturned punch-glass spilling its contents. A violin hangs on the wall (right).
Beneath the design the words of the catch are engraved:

"T'was you Sr T'was you Sir -
I tell you nothing new Sir,
T'was you that kiss'd the
Pretty Girl - T'was you Sr you." c.1780

Licensing

[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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
