| Description |
English: Persons standing in conversation at a party. The principal figures are two elaborately dressed ladies of plebeian, elderly, and unattractive appearance who face each other; one holds a card, the other a fan. Their hair is awkwardly dressed in the enormous mounds then fashionable, see BMSat 5370, &c. On the left a short, fat, and awkward footman brings in a tray on which is a triple stand of jelly-glasses, a foaming tankard of beer, &c. The other guests are men; one wears a furred alderman's gown. In the centre of the back wall is a picture of a man with a distraught expression dressed as a seaman or working man, who is being devoured by two lions, one on each side. Above his head are the letters 'S.P.Q.L.' On the back of the print a note in a contemporary hand explains this as "Senatus populusque Londoniensis the Aldermen and Commoners of London". On the right. wall is visible the lower part of a whole length portrait of a man in a furred livery gown. 20 May 1776

[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.  | ||||
