A Rescue or the Tars Triumphant |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Satire on conflict between sailors and the law: a group of sailors are defending prostitutes from arrest. The young women have arrived outside a public house in an elegant carriage and a group of constables are attempting to arrest them. On the left, a sailor kisses a woman's cheek while she picks a a watch from his pocket; a younger woman holds a strip ballad, "Hearts of Oak are our Men"; a burly one-legged sailor lifts a woman from the carriage, while another woman looks over her shoulder; the first woman clicks her fingers at a well-fed constable, to the right, in whose pocket is a copy of "The Compleat Peace-Officer"; the constable points to his tipstaff while a sailor grabs his collar, having already knocked another constable to the ground with his cudgel; that constable's wig has fallen to the ground; he holds his hand to a wound on his head and beside him lies his warrant, lettered "Middlesex ... 1768"; to the right, behind the rear wheel of the carriage more sailors are fighting other constables. In the background, the coachman looks on anxiously from his box; a sailor sits on top of the carraige waving his hat; people crowd enthusiastically at the windows of the public house whose door is surmounted by the figure of a child Bacchus and two flower pots and the notice "Punch in any Quantitiy"; after Collett. 1768

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. |
