Notes |
The date of publication is deduced from Dorothy George (see BMSat. V p.786). This is a pair to BMSat.3782. The verses are taken from the play 'The Duenna' by R.B.Sheridan, which was first performed at Covent Garden in 1775. Dighton's original watercolour for this print was sold at Sotheby's, 30 April 1953 and again from the collection of Mr Jeffrey Rose at Sotheby's, 23 February 1978, lot 43. |

Licensing
editThis 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. |
