Description
English: Two women oppose each other in a built-up street; one, a market woman, is being assisted to her feet, the second, an aristocrat, is being handed a guinea by a butcher. To the left, two chimneysweeps are playing with her muff, and beside them, her hat and fur-lined robe have been cast to the ground; in the left foreground two cocks engage in a stand-off. A variety of figures watch the scene: a lady and a gentleman, a pickpocket, a laundrywoman, children and tradesmen. Pasted to a brick building in the background is a paper lettered "The Rival Queens", and above the window, a cross under which is written "Union". Through the window above, a couple embrace as they draw the curtain; proof before letters. 1770

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:
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 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


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.
