Title
Goody Bull or the Second Part of the Repeal
Description
English: Satire on the repeal of the Stamp Act showing a sea shore with Britannia has fallen to the ground having quarrelled with her daughter who is shown as a native American; William Pitt, supporting his gouty leg with a crutch, rushes up to urge Britannia to comply with her daughter's wishes. He remonstrates, "Why you Old Devil, what have you a Mind to turn your Daughter a Drift"; Britannia replies, "Oh! the Hussy She dares me to my Very face" at which America cries, "I will Sooner turn Strumpet to all the World than bear this Treatment". A crowned lion (George III) lies before the group ignoring the conflict; bales of goods marked with a broad arrow lie around. A sailing barge lies at the shore. Across the sea a large statue of Pitt holding a scroll lettered "Stamp Act repealed" stands on a plinth (see BM Satires 4140) with an inscription referring to Pitt's having "Delivered America from Slavery [i.e., unfair taxation] by the repeal of the Stamp Act 1766"; mean standing around the statue acclaim Pitt and "Liberty", "King George" and "Wilkes" and cry, "No Twitchers / No Sejanuses" (i.e., Lords Sandwich and Bute); Britannia sits enthroned beside the statue. Verse in letterpress in four columns of twenty-four lines each present the conflict as a family dispute in which "Goody Bull" objects to her daughter wishing to support herself, but after Pitt's intervention realises that unless she relents she will lose her daughter. 1766

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

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.
