Title
The Maidstone bath or the modern Susanna.
Description
English: A stone building in which a bath is sunk in the floor. A young woman (Lady Worsley) stands in it, the water just above her knees. An attendant stands behind her holding a towel, both look up, the attendant with alarm, at the face of a man (Captain Bisset) looking through one of two oval apertures (right) high up in the wall. In front of and below the bath is the upper part of a flight of spiral steps leading to high iron bars at right angles to the wall at the end of the bath, through which is seen Sir Richard Worsley holding Captain Bisset on his shoulders. This part of the design is in shadow.


The attendant is an attractive young woman wearing a hat. The lady's clothes and hat are heaped on a chair behind her. On the wall above the bath is a tap and below it a small basin built into the wall. The design has delicacy and charm in spite of its scurrilous intention. See BMSat 6105-7, 6109-12. 12 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:
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 file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
