The Fetter Lane Loyalist or a Description of a True Sonne of Rome |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Satire on an unidentified Presbyterian printer implying that he is a covert Catholic. Four compartments: a gentleman, on whose coat are the words "I believe in Jon Calvin ..." and saying "Presbytherian Creed", encounters the Pope and the Devil and holds out a paper inscribed "The Parliamts Ghost"; he kneels before a well-dressed lady offering two papers, one saying, "Madam I'll hazzard my life for yr case", the other, "I'll print for the devil for money"; a gipsy woman, with a baby on her back, reads his palm telling him "The gallows groons [sic] for thee"; he stands in an attitude of repentance, his head bowed and hands across his chest, in front of a clergyman who tells him, "Honesty is the best policy".

[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. |
