[A dissenting congregation] |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: The interior of a small dilapidated room; a preacher stands in a ramshackle tub declaiming with outstretched arms; he faces a congregation of artisans, &c, who listen with sour and intent expressions. From his pocket protrudes a ballad: 'Black Joke' (cf. BMSat 7673). His tub is inscribed 'Remember The Clergy'; on the ground beside it is a mutilated book of 'Common Prayer'. On the wall is a bill: 'Next Sabeth Day we shall hav a Love Feest it is hopd every Lamb will atend NB a Culleccsion as useal for the Pastor'. In the casement window is a placard (reversed): 'Mangling done here'. In the foreground (right) a small dog befouls a paper inscribed 'Repeal of Corporat[ion] & Test Act'. On the extreme (right) sits a quack doctor; a handbill protruding from his pocket is inscribed 'Doctor Henry a ever failing remedy'; on the ground beside him is a pill-box with scattered pills. From the pocket of a demure-looking woman seated next him issues a bottle, implying that she takes drams. Proof before letter. c. March 1790

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) One of many attacks on the dissenters in connexion with the proposal to repeal the Test and Corporation Acts, see BMSat 7628, &c; they are usually represented as seditious, here they are ridiculed as illiterate undesirables. |

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. 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. |
