Title
The March of the Medical Militants to the Siege of Warwick-Lane-Castle in the Year 1767
Description
English: Satire on the dispute between the Fellows and Licentiates of the College of Physicians. A procession of Licentiates, several of whom are particularly small, march into Warwick Lane in the City of London, towards the College, an octagonal building with a spire topped by a pill. Three men carrying pikes, at the head of the procession are seen from the back; then comes a man apparently drilling a drummer and bag-piper; a farrier wearing a baldric lettered, "Dr. to the Horse / MD" leads a pony on which rides a man who appears to be one of the leaders of the group and addresses others who are on foot; two men carry large flags, lettered "Delenda est Oxonia / Delend[a est Cantabrigia" and "Pro Collegiis Scotiae". In the foreground left, a blacksmith kneels (the Licentiates brought a blacksmith with them to break open the gates of the College); a dog barks at him. In the background by the entrance to the college stand two Fellows of the College wearing gowns. Several women are watching from windows in the houses, one of which carries a sign with a man in armour. 1 September 1768

[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.
