Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) The elaborately decorated screen, as well as the dress of all but one of the men, suggests that the Jews are wealthy. The print is in the manner of genre rather than of caricature.

There is another issue having the same publication-line, with the title 'A Scene in Duke's Place' (not in B.M.). A reduced version was published 27 May 1778 (not in B.M.).

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.
