Title
The old woman and her daughter
Description
English: The interior of a bakehouse realistically depicted. An angry old woman pushes a broom into the arched aperture of the oven. Her alarmed husband stands behind. A thin baker, much amused, standing (right) by a sack, points into the oven. In the doorway stands a distressed young woman. The long shovels for the bread are in a rack; on a shelf is a large hour-glass; mixing-table and scales are on the right. Beneath the design: 'Historians report, the Old Woman wou'd not have thought of looking for her Daughter in the Oven, if she had never been there herself' [one of the sayings in the collection attributed to George Herbert, first published in 'Witt's Recreations', 1640]. 12 March 1800

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 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
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.
