print, satirical print
Description
English: A satire on anatomists set in a room resembling a butcher's shop in which a group of men, with the heads of different animals, watch a dissection. By the light of a hanging lamp a ape-faced man, wearing a feathered turban disembowels the body of a young cat, which lies on a covered table. A bespectacled ape-man, wearing a long fur robe and a cleaver in his belt, appears to give instruction, four other men clustered round watch closely: one with an an ass's head holding a knife; one with the head of a dog, another that of a fox; the fourth with that of an ape. In the background is another group with the heads of a bear, a goat and a ram; the former with a child on his shoulder. An ape in funeral dress talks to a cat-woman. In the foreground are a butcher's block and two tubs filled with body parts topped with the head of an ass and cat. The stuffed skins of various animals and fish hang from the ceiling, including that of a swordfish which has two toads balanced on it and three hares. The carcase of a cow is propped against the wall. c.1730

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:
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 70 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. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
