Title
The lucky mistake or the buck and blood flourishing macaroni - playing a solo on the jelly glasses
Description
English: A military officer on a heavy cavalry horse, rides unconcernedly past a man whom he has knocked down. He wears a hat with a cockade, a sabre, cavalry boots, and a large nosegay. His hair is in a large macaroni club, tied with ribbons. In his right. hand he flourishes a short-handled whip with a long lash. His horse has a flowing mane and tail.


Behind the horse the prostrate man (r.) looks round with a face of fury. He has a wooden leg which has been broken in his fall. Both hands are outstretched on the tray which he has been carrying, on which are a number of overturned and broken jelly-glasses.
In the upper right. corner of the plate is a club of hair under which is engraved: "Club the First Both Natural & Artificial Flowing from Simple Nature The Size, about two thirds of his Carcase Weighs . Upwards of five pounds when full Dress'd & truss'd up with Powder Lambs Wool Horse & Asses hair Eau de Mille fleurs &c. &c. &c. &.c. &c. &c." 1 May 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.
