Title
Reynard's Hope, a scene in the Tempest between Trinculo, Stephano and Caliban
Description
English: A scene near the shore of the island; the wrecked ship with splintered masts, lying on the shore (right), is the 'Royal George'. The Prince of Wales as Trinculo (left) stands in profile to the right holding a bottle of wine in his right hand, addressing Fox who is Stephano; he says: "Give me dear woman - and give me good wine - and you may govern all things else as thine". He wears a fool's cap with bells, ornamented with three ostrich feathers and 'Ich dien'. Beside him is a barrel inscribed 'Butt' and 'P. of W'. Fox as the drunken butler, directed to the left, holds out his right fore-finger to the Prince, saying: "Taffy - when the Island's ours - my brave Boy - I - I'll be King - and you shall be Viceroy"; in his left hand he holds a dice-box inscribed 'Compass'. On the ground at Fox's feet, facing the Prince, kneels Caliban, a hairy body with the head of North; he says:



"My Jove, Pll lick your shoes & obey your nod,
And his, for sure he's Bacchus, the bloated God."

Over the sea and above the wreck is a bright crescent encircling a dark disk, shedding its rays on clouds. 15 April 1784

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.
