| Title |
Troops Fording a Brook |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Satire on soldiers. A tall thin private soldier scowls as he carries a short fat officer on his shoulders across a stream; behind him a sturdy woman carries a young officer. Behind them are more soldiers, including a young boy with his drum slung on his back. A country boy looks on with interest at the edge of the stream, while two girls lean on a broken fence smiling; in the foreground a bitch carries her puppy across in her mouth. The first officer has in his pocket a copy of "An Essay on Alexanders Passing the Granicus". 25 January 1772.

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.  | ||||
