Description |
English: A French satire. A soldier stands behind a turkey-cock holding both ends of a staff which has been put in the bird's beak. The turkey, which represents Burgoyne, wears top-boots and is shackled by his right leg, on which is a garter inscribed "Honi soit", though he was not a knight of the Garter. Other soldiers of the Continental Army stand in a semicircle behind the bird. Beneath the title is etched:

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. |
