Well done Bett! we'll get thro' the Business

the aſsistance of our old Friend under the Table
we shall be able to gull them yet daughter!

I Swear that I never wish'd or tried

never saw or writ to Lord B_ or Lord L_, in all
my Life; - that Men are my aversion; & that I
never had anything to do with, with the Groom, in
all my born days: will that do, Dad?

  • woman seated to right, using bellows ("Letter to the D. of A.") on fire below pot of melting Coronets:

That's right, my sweet innocent Angel! say Grace boldly!
make haste my dear little lovely Lambkin! I'll soon
blow up the Fire, while Nawntee Peg helps to cook up
the Coronets; we'll get you a nice tit bit for
Dinner, before we've done, my dear little deary

  • woman standing to right of fire, ladling the Coronets:

Puff away Sister! the Soup will soon
boil - law's me, how soft the Green Peas
do grow, & how they Jump about in the
pot when you Puff your Bellows!

While Commons policy accepts the use of this media,
one or more third parties have made copyright claims against Wikimedia Commons in relation to the work from which this is sourced or a purely mechanical reproduction thereof. This may be due to recognition of the "sweat of the brow" doctrine, allowing works to be eligible for protection through skill and labour, and not purely by originality as is the case in the United States (where this website is hosted). These claims may or may not be valid in all jurisdictions. As such, use of this image in the jurisdiction of the claimant or other countries may be regarded as copyright infringement. Please see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag for more information.

See User:Dcoetzee/NPG legal threat for original threat and National Portrait Gallery and Wikimedia Foundation copyright dispute for more information.

This tag does not indicate the copyright status of the attached work. A normal copyright tag is still required. See Commons:Licensing.
This set of images was gathered by User:Dcoetzee from the National Portrait Gallery, London website using a special tool. This description is for the initial mass upload, and they will be updated to be image-specific in a second pass by a bot. According to the NPG's website the work was published prior to 1859, and so the author is reasonably presumed dead by 1939.
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art 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.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
