| Description |
English: A countryman (r.) in a smock and his wife (l.) sit by a table on which is a frothing jug and two full tumblers. She reads the newspaper, and looks up to say: "Why this Bonny-part be making Kings every-day - I should not wonder if thee wast in France, if he made a King of thee John - what wouldst thee do if thee wast a King?" He answers: "Do -! Why I'd swing on a gate and eat fat Bacon all the day long." He is a broad shock-headed fellow, seated with legs astride, a hand on each knee, a smoking pipe in his right. hand. A blazing fire burns in the grate. 1807

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.  | ||||
