| Description |
English: Three men, two on horseback, wearing new-fashioned hats. The centre figure is seen in back view on horseback, he wears a large hat with a high cylindrical crown round which are spaced six hat-bands. In the foreground (right) is a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat whose crown is shaped like an inverted flower-pot. He is looking through a small telescope. These two both carry knotted sticks. The third man who is cantering (left to right) in the middle distance (left) wears a similar hat. All three wear spurred top-boots in the fashion of the moment, with very long tops descending well below the calf of the leg. 16 May 1781

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) This seems to be the first appearance of the embryo top-hat. See also BMSat 5933, 5934, 5935. |

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.  | ||||
