| Description |
English: A haughty peer (left), wearing the ribbon (incorrectly coloured red) and star of the Garter, stands in profile to the right 'making a leg' with right toe advanced. He is 'chapeau-bras' with arms behind his back, head thrown scornfully back, looking under dropped eyelids at a fat John Bull, wearing old-fashioned dress with a cocked hat in which is a large tricolour cockade. The latter, one hand in his coat pocket, the other on his stick, looks up at the 'aristocrat' with quizzical disparagement. He is a 'cit', entirely different from the usual 'democrat' in caricature, cf. BMSat 8310. 9 June 1794

| Notes | The date was not read by Dorothy George but is clear. The print is among those depicted in Newton's watercolour of Holland's shop window, and is obviously etched by Newton himself, although unsigned. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

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.  | ||||
