Title
The Overthrow of Dr Slop
Description
English: One of a series of illustrations to Tristram Shandy, see BMSat 5213-16. Obadiah (left) mounted on the coach-horse at full gallop attempts to pull up his horse, leaning back in the saddle, his cap in his right hand. On the ground is Dr. Slop's pony. Behind the pony on the right. Dr. Slop lies on his back; a spotted dog prances over him. The doctor lies under a sign-post terminating in a hand pointing "To Shandy Hall". Behind the coach-horse, which is wearing blinkers, is the angle of a high garden wall, in the distance (right) is a church spire among trees.


Beneath the design is engraved,

"When Obadiah & his Coach Horse turn'd the Corner rapid, furious, pop, full upon him - nothing I think in Nature can be supposed more terrible than such a rencounter - Obadiah pull'd of [sic] his Cap twice to Dr Slop, once when he was falling & again when he saw him seated." - Vide Vol 1st Tristram Shandy. 3 February 1773

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.
