Title |
A lack water canal |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: On each side of a canal stands a parson holding aside his gown to direct a gush of water into the canal, on which is a masted barge drawn by a team of horses. They face each other in profile. One (left) says: "If we cannot use the Springs of the Irk we will use Our Own". Behind him a signpost points (right) 'to East ham'. The other says: "We defy the Mill Owners! Brother we must have a Patent." Behind him is a signpost: 'To Rochdale'. In the background (left) is a ruinous church. Beneath the title: 'A new mode of Supplying a Canal with water where it cannot be obtained without Injuring the Mill Owners.' c. February 1794

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) The Rochdale Canal Bill was petitioned against by owners of mills on the Roach, Irwell, and Irk. The Bill was supported by petitions of 'Gentlemen, Clergy . . .' and mill-owners; it was passed on 4 Apr. 1794. 'Commons Journals', xlix. 20, 156, 162, 265 (24 Jan., 12, 13 Feb., 3 Mar. 1794). Cf.

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. |
