Description |
English: Moralising broadside including a woodcut with hand-colouring in which parents, the father bearded, hold a sieve on which their son kneels. They are shaking the sieve to remove the young man's sins (shown emblematically as dice, card-playing, wasting money on fashionable clothes, tennis-playing, smoking, drinking and fathering bastard children), behind them are scenes of his misdeeds entitled "Drunkeness", "Spewing", "Debauchery", "Gaming", "Robbery" (?), "Murder", leading to"Imprisonment" and "Hanging"; letterpress text on either side and below headed "The Drunkard's Looking Glass", and at the foot of the right hand column "... Acts and Laws against the Tiplers and Drunkards" with a list of laws passed 1607-26 (London: n.d.). |

Notes | The print appears as no. 149 in Dicey's catalogue of 1754, but a date around 1700 for the woodblock is suggested by the costume; the list of 17th-century laws suggests that the text was copied from an earlier source. An etched version of the composition was published in 1677 and republished by William Dicey, see S O'Connell, The Popular Print in England, pp.76-77 and M. Jones 'The Print in Early Modern England: An Historical Oversight', New Haven and London, 2010, pp.195-196. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

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. |
