Title
The soldier tired of wars alarms.
Description
English: The citizen-soldier of BMSat 5783 (Vanhagen, the pastry cook) stands at his bench, wearing an apron. He is looking intently at his own caricature, 'He wou'd be a Soldier', see BMSat 5783, which he holds in his left hand. In his right is an implement for rolling or pressing, and on the bench are small disks, indicated pastry shapes. On the ground at his feet lie his hat, musket, bayonet, bandolier, and cartouche box, the last decorated with the City Arms. His shoes are unbuckled, his stockings ungartered, his breeches unbuttoned at the knee. 6 September 1780

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 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.
