Title
The old Hunter consoling the Don-Key!
Description
English: The Mayor, with an ass's head, sits full-face in an arm-chair (left), shedding tears. Hunter (right), with a horse's head, sits behind a table in profile to the left, leaning forward and lightly touching the ass's head. His left hand rests on a paper; he says: 'Come! Come! Cheer up!—Ours was an error of the Head not of the Heart'. Key (as Dogberry): 'Yes,—haw, haw—but they—haw, haw, write me down an ass' ["Much Ado", IV. ii. cf. BM Satires No. 16322]. See BM Satires No. 16303, &c. c. November 1830

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.
