Description |
English: Below the title: 'DAY-BREAK AT THE NATIONAL SCOTCH CHURCH, REGENTS SQUARE. Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this Counsel, or this work be of men, it will come to nought; but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it. Gamaliel's Counsel, Acts Chap. IV'. Design in a circle inset in a heavily shaded square. This adds to the effect of light from a lamp strongly illuminating the principals, whose names are engraved below the design. The 'Revd E. Irving' sits in an elaborately carved Gothic chair, on a dais, one foot regally on a stool or block. He turns towards the picture-plane and away from his congregation, wearing his accustomed long cloak which parts to show clasped hands. Standing in the front pew facing the congregation, but turning from them like Irving, is 'Mr Tamplin', holding an open book. Two ladies in the next pew wearing cloaks and large plain bonnets, sit or kneel, gazing intently at Irving. They are 'Mrs Hall' and 'Mrs Carsdale'. Behind them crowded pews are indicated, in shadow. Two men stand up, one covering his face with his hands and wearing a cape like Irving's. In the foreground is the corner of the front pew on the nearer side of the aisle. In this a man kneels devoutly with closed eyes. See BM Satires No. 16818. Feb 28 1832

[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. 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. |
