Title
View on the Pont Neuf at Paris
Description
English: Satire on Parisian street-life: on the Pont Neuf various street-traders advertise their business. On the left, a 'dog-barber' with a sign reading, "Aux Quarante Lions St. Louis / Decrottte a l'Anglaise et Tond des Chiens Proprement. / Allons Messeigneurs Allons."; the dog on his lap, as yet untrimmed, barks at an elegantly clipped dog. Behind them a lemonade seller whose sign reads, "A La Renomme Bonne / Limonade Questqui Veut Boire". A chocolate seller with a large queue carrying a chocolate pot and a tray of cups with a parasol held over his head walks towrads the right. In the background, a fat woman holding a large basket on her back talks to a sentry, beside whom a dog defecates. Further to the right, an elegant lawyer walks towards the left ignoring those he passes; he carries a muff and, under his arm, a parasol. Behind him a coach driver, holding a very large muff and with elaborate curls protruding from his hat, is having his boots cleaned by a shoe-black whose sign reads, "Au Grand Monarque / Lebrillant va en Ville et Decrotte Joliment". On the right, a hairdresser with an elaborate wig waks towards the left with muff hanging around his neck and holding his curling tongs in one hand and a pot in the other; a smaller pair of tongs, or scissors, is tucked into the front of his coat. 1 Oct 1771

[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 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.
