Darby and Joan |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Lord Derby (left) and his wife (right) sit facing each other, a small round table between them on which are a jug and glasses. Both are smoking long pipes, but no smoke issues from that of Lord Derby. He, short, obese, and very plainly dressed, sits on a plain solid chair. She, tall and elegantly dressed, in a low-cut, high-waisted dress, sits on a chair with spindle legs, its back decorated with a coronet. She touches his clumsy shoe with the toe of her slipper, saying, "You have no Fire in your Pipe, my dear Darby". He answers, "It has been out long ago, lovey, but I like to whiff with an agreeable companion, what the children call make believe!" See BMSat 9074. For the title cf. BMSat 8727, &c. June 1797

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. 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. |
