Title
[Campbell's concert]
Description
English: John Campbell, the precentor of the Canongate Church (see BMSat 5894), stands full-face, singing loudly from a paper which he holds, surrounded by others making discordant music, while three asses bray and a dog howls. His brother, Alexander Campbell (left), stands in profile to the right, turning the handle of an organ which is strapped to his back. Facing him (right) is Baillie Duff (see BMSat 6689) playing the Highland bagpipe. Behind the precentor the city fish-horn blower (employed by the fishmongers to announce with his horn that fish were in the market) blows his horn, and a blind Irish piper, Meek, plays his pipes. In the background (right) a man standing in a saw-pit sharpens his saw. The bodies of the asses are cut off by the left and right margins of the print. Beneath the design is etched:



'Let Puppy's bark and Asses bray,
Each Dog and Cur will have his day,' 1786

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) The print was etched in retaliation for a caricature of Kay by Alexander Campbell (see 'D.N.B.') in revenge for a portrait by Kay of his brother, John Campbell. In this Kay was dragged by the ear by John Dow (see BMSat 6689, &c.) to the Town Guard, and was kicked behind by Baillie Duff. Title in Kay: 'A Medley of Musicians.'

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.

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 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.
