Title |
Wigs all the rage, or a debate on the baldness of the times |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A man leans from a rostrum (right), holding up his wig, addressing an audience of men and women, seated and standing, most of whom hold up their wigs, disclosing bald or cropped heads. In his left hand is a wig of luxuriant curls which he has taken from the head of a protesting old woman. Most of the wigs simulate natural hair, either short or in ringlets. On the wall is a placard: 'For Debate, \ Opinions \ on \ Baldness. \ It is the sincere wish of the \ proprietors of this Institution, \ that Gentlemen and Ladies will be Uncover'd on this important Occasion'. See BMSat 9313. 24 May 1798

[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. ![]() |
