| Description |
English: Britannia, in profile to the right, kneels on the ground, bending forward with an expression of angry distress. She supports herself on her spear, the upper part of which rests against her right shoulder. Her shield, broken, lies on the ground, her knee resting on it. Behind her (left) are the two 'State Quacks', Fox and North, Fox, with a fox's head, sitting on the ground, lifts Britannia's petticoats in both hands. North, very stout and fat, stands (left) in profile to the right, holding a large syringe. A mountainous landscape, with clouds, forms the background. 1 April 1783

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.  | ||||
