Title |
The rustics alarm'd at the appearance of a London buck |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A tall young man, dressed in the manner of the bloods of the period, in high-crowned hat, tail coat, long breeches and short top-boots with long spurs, stands with his left hand on his hips, holding a riding-switch. He wears whiskers and short (but not cropped) hair. He looks with a frown at a bitch with young puppies who snarls at him. Two men seated outside a low thatched cottage (right) (one of quasi-clerical appearance, book in hand), regard him with terror. A boy kneels beseechingly to the strange apparition; a child runs to its mother (left). Two boys run away. For this fashion cf. BMSat 8040, &c. 27 July 1790

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. ![]() |
