Description |
English: A small thin man, probably Queensberry, stands between two buxom courtesans, his hands muffled and padlocked, a larger padlock hanging below the waist. A parson walks off (left) by a sign-post pointing 'To Kew'; he looks round triumphantly holding up a key. 10 February 1800

Notes |
The identification of F. Sansom as the engraver of the title was made by Andrew Norton (correspondence, 19 February 2008). The notoriously lecherous Duke of Queensberry is shown at the age of 75 prevented from indulging himself with two women of easy virtue. Dorothy George omitted to transcribe their bawdy speech. |

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. |
