The French king in a sweat or the Paris coiners 1759 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Satire on the French king and his nobles melting valuables to make coin to pay war expenses in reaction to the disasters of the year 1759. Louis XV stands on the left holding a broken sceptre that he prepares to add to the crucible; Marshal Belle-Isle crouches on the right cutting up a candlestick; Madame de Pompadour works the bellows. Items of plate lie on the floor, including a vase lettered, "Germain fec" and a box lettered, "Messonier Inv"; on the wall hang portraits of W[illiam] P[itt], lettered "Terror of France", into which a sword is stuck, Newcastle and Fox, the latter two covered by a large cobweb. 1759

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. ![]() |
