Description |
English: The interior of a bakehouse realistically depicted. An angry old woman pushes a broom into the arched aperture of the oven. Her alarmed husband stands behind. A thin baker, much amused, standing (right) by a sack, points into the oven. In the doorway stands a distressed young woman. The long shovels for the bread are in a rack; on a shelf is a large hour-glass; mixing-table and scales are on the right. Beneath the design: 'Historians report, the Old Woman wou'd not have thought of looking for her Daughter in the Oven, if she had never been there herself' [one of the sayings in the collection attributed to George Herbert, first published in 'Witt's Recreations', 1640]. 12 March 1800

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:
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. ![]() |
