Title |
Sir Richard Worse-than-sly, exposing his wifes bottom; o fye! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: The interior of a room in the floor of which is sunk a circular bath. A lady (Lady Worsley), holding a little drapery, steps into it. Through a window high in the wall behind her (left) appear the head and shoulders of Captain Bisset. Outside the building (left) Sir R. Worsley stoops down, his back to the wall, to support Bissett, who stands on his shoulders. Worsley, in cockaded hat and regimentals, looks towards the spectator, saying, "My Yoke is Easy & my Burden Light". Bisset is saying, "Charming View of the Back Settlements Sr Richard". On the farther side of the bath (right) stands a maid-servant of attractive appearance, holding her mistress's clothes; she holds up her right hand saying, "Good lack! My Lady the Captn will see all for Nothing". On the back wall is nailed a 'Map of the Isle of Wight'. 14 March 1782

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. |
