Description |
English: A bishop leans back exhausted in an armchair (right). The lawn sleeve on his left arm has been rolled up, blood spouts from a puncture on to the floor and pours from a broken bowl lying on the ground. The doctor turn his back on his patient and hastens towards a door (left) through which looks a groom holding a horse. The groom says, "Docter Docter, my masters horse has got the spavin." The doctor, grinning with pleasure, says: "Who does he belong to? never saw such a beautiful creature in my life! What a neck! what a nose! what a magic eye!... I'll go and dress him out of hand - Whats a head of the Church to the heels of a horse." On the wall is a picture of 'Durham Cathedral' (interior) showing that the patient is the Bishop of Durham. Behind him are a Bible and other books on a shelf, above which is a mitre. A crozier hangs from the wall. On the right is a table with medicine bottles. The doctor wears old-fashioned dress with wide cuffs and flapped waistcoat; a syringe, &c, projects from his pocket. In the background behind the horse a cathedral is indicated. 12 January 1791

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. |
