Title
Too much and too little or summer cloathing for 1556 & 1796
Description
English: Two ladies, one in Elizabethan dress (left), the other (right) scantily draped, stand gazing at each other in astonishment, their heads turned in profile. One stands stiffly; her wide, heavily embroidered dress, with tight, pointed bodice, and a high ruff, makes this necessary. The other adopts a quasi-classical pose, one leg slightly bent. Her high-waisted dress drapes her breasts and falls to the ankles, defining her legs. She has short simple sleeves. A ribbon is twisted in her hair, which is curled on the crown of the head, whence tresses fall to her neck, and a feather stands erect. Her profile resembles that of BMSat 8896, perhaps Lady C. Campbell.


On the wall are two three-quarter length portraits of men in corresponding costume: a bearded man (left) wearing a ruff looks down to the right. On the right a modern dandy looks down and to the left, his chin swathed in voluminous folds, a wide collar turned back over his cut-away coat. A patterned carpet covers the floor. 8 February 1796

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 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.
