Title
The ladies contrivance or the capital concert
Description
English: Two sedan chairs pass one another, going in opposite directions. In the nearer, proceeding from left to right., sits a lady, whose enormous head-dress surmounted by feathers projects far above the top of the chair; the roof has been made to slide up on rods fixed at the corners, and is thus supported at a height above the top of the sedan. Through the window of the other sedan the head of a man is seen; the roof of the chair is in its normal position, but rods at the corners show that it can be raised if necessary. The chairs are private ones, elegantly shaped and decorated, a tassel hanging from each corner of the roof. The chairmen are in livery, wearing coats with coloured facings. 30 April 1777

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.
