| Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) Renwick Williams, who had been identified on 13 June as the mysterious Monster, see BMSat 7648, &c, was examined at Bow Street on 14 June, &c., and was tried at the Old Bailey on 7 July 1790. He was found guilty but judgement was respited till December. This portrait is evidently based on a sketch made at the trial, see BMSat 7730. ................................................... The print was attributed to Gillray in an annotation by Hawkins, but Andrew Edmunds (personal communication, February 2011) noted that it is not by his hand, although he could not identify the artist. |

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.  | ||||
