A spy!!! Or the blessing of a convention bill |

Description |
English: An elderly Justice of Peace (left), in profile to the left, approaches the side of a rustic latrine, a lean-to without a door; within, concealed from the man, an old woman in profile to the left is superintending a little girl who sits on the seat; in her hand is a torn paper: 'The Last Speech or Dying words of Liberty'. On the side of the shed has been chalked a childish caricature of Pitt with (or hanging from) a gallows. The magistrate, who wears old-fashioned dress, says, with wrinkled nose and extended hand: "I am sure I smell Treason and by Virtue of my office I have a right to peep every where, Mercy on us! - what a Seditious Grumbling."

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. ![]() |
