Title
HET COMMITTE VAN NOODLYDENDE
Description
English: Three men gorge at a dinner-table laden with food and wine. A fat man with the table-cloth tucked under his chin gnaws a bone. A more elegant man (left), perhaps the 'President' of BMSat 8850, but wearing ear-rings, offers a bare bone to a little ragged boy. A third (right) drinks. A man-servant stands behind, another (right) with bludgeon and clenched fist drives back a starving couple who stand in the doorway making gestures of supplication. Above the design: 'Charité bien ordonnée commence par soimême'. Text, 'James', ii. 15, 16. Similar prints in England are directed against parish officers, cf. BMSat 6877. 1796

[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.
