Title |
Lady Gorget raising Recruits for Cox-Heath |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A lady seated on a settee (right) looking towards three yokels who stand before her (left). She is wearing riding-dress of a military cut, an officer's coat with epaulettes, and a gorget, the sign of an officer on active service. A bunch of seals hangs from her double-breasted waistcoat. She wears a large feathered hat with a military cockade, and holds a tasselled cane under her left arm. She is addressing a young man wearing spatterdashes and holding his hat, he smiles sheepishly. Another young man wearing a hat stands behind him (left), one hand on his shoulder. The third, wearing a smock frock, holds his hat to his mouth, grinning. Outside the window (left) are the tents of the camp. 4 June 1781

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. |
