Title
The profligates levee, or the Knight's interview with Israel the Jew & Tommy Bloodsucker
Description
English: A small thin man stands between two much larger men, who hold documents showing that they are money-lenders. He is James Scawen, M.P. for Surrey, see BMSat 5422. His thin legs are knock-kneed, his toes turn inwards. He looks towards the money-lender on his left. and points with his left hand at a paper held up by the latter, whose beard and hooked nose show that he is a Jew. The Jew (r.) wears a bag-wig, laced coat and waistcoat; the paper he holds out is inscribed, "Mortgage on the Surry Northamp[ton] Estates D° on the Cornwal D° on the . . . D° . . ." Behind the Jew's back is an open window, within which sits a woman of forbidding appearance with a Jewish profile, who appears deeply interested in the interview.


A large obese man (l.) stands in profile to the right., wearing a wide-brimmed looped hat, plain clothes, and a nosegay. In his left hand is a larger document than that held by the Jew; in his right. hand is a large eyeglass. His document is inscribed, "Annuitys grand to Tho: Bloodsucr. An. 100, D° 20, D° 150, D° 75 D° 100, D° 120, D° 25, D° 100, D° 150". Behind him a cat stands on its hind legs, while behind the Jew a dog does the same. At Scawen's feet are dice-boxes, dice, and cards. n.d.c. January 1777

[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 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

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.
