Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) Pl. to 'Attic Miscellany', ii. 417, where it is inscribed 'Political Portraiture N° 6'. Paine's 'Rights of Man', in answer to Burke's 'Reflections', was published on 13 March 1791, see BMSat 7867, &c. In the accompanying text Paine is compared with Jack Straw, Jack Cade, Wat Tyler, Guy Vaux, Jonathan Wild, and Jack the Painter (Aitken, see BMSat 6288). The imprint has been erased or stopped out, suggesting that the plate was issued, probably at a later date, as a separate print. |

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. |
