Title |
The sailor's return from Portsmouth to London |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A sailor seated on a sorry-looking horse rides from left. to right. along a country road. In his right. hand he holds the horse's tail, in his left. a long horn which he is blowing. The harness is of rope with pulleys; a rope attached to the horse's head is round the rider's waist. Round the horse's neck is wound a coil of rope attached to an anchor; its head is decorated with a Union flag, another flag is on the sailor's cap. The rider's r. foot is in a rope-ladder which takes the place of a stirrup. The heads and fore-legs of a pair of horses, on one of which a postilion is riding, advance into the picture from the right. 2 March 1772

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:
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. |
