Title
The Covent Garden deluge.
Description
English: From 'The Rambler's Magazine'. The Duchess of Devonshire, Fox, and others stand on a balcony slightly above the level of the street. Beneath are Wray, Hood, and other passers-by. The Duchess says, "You shall come in Charley"; she urinates, a stream falling on to Wray below, who looks up, saying, "This was design'd for the Admiral, I'm not used to Salt Water". Lord Hood, just behind him, says, "She has given you a Broadside". A boy says, "It does not rain but it pours"; a woman (right) says, "This is striving against the Stream". A fat butcher (left) points up at the balcony. Three ladies are beside the Duchess on the balcony. Behind and looking over the Duchess's shoulders are Fox (left), saying, "Drown the Rascal", and the Duke of Devonshire, from whose head project long horns. 1 June 1784

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:
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 work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
