English barber, carrying home a common councilman's wig |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: A barber has just left his house, the open door of which is seen on the right. He carries in his right. hand a large curled wig with a small queue tied with a ribbon bow. In his left hand is an implement for curling hair; under his left. arm is a barber's basin; a pair of scissors projects from his coat pocket. He is neatly and plainly dressed, with a broad-brimmed hat. A dog prances at his side. Round the corner of his house (l.) appears a thin foppishly dressed Frenchman, probably a hairdresser, wearing a bag-wig and solitaire; he points at the barber saying "Se de diffrence between de Aingleesh Barber & mineself, Ha! Ha! de Aingleesh Bougre". From the barber's door projects a striped pole, from which hangs a board inscribed, "Shave for a Penny". Above the door is inscribed, "Bleeding and Teeth drawn" and "Money for live hear". Inside the door two wigs are suspended. 5 June 1777

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.  | ||||
