Title
Different Sensations.
Description
English: A design in two compartments arranged one above the other and separated by the title; each has also its own title:


[1] BONE of CONTENTION. Burke, half length, in profile to the right bites one end of the bone of 'Revolution', the other end being in the mouth of Sheridan (three quarter length) who looks to the left with an expression of fury, his fists clenched. Burke, the left fist clenched, right hand deprecatingly open, says, "Seperated for EVER". The bone breaks between them. Fox, half length, a slightly smaller figure, stands between and behind them, but nearer Sheridan at whom he looks with a troubled expression, his finger in his mouth, saying, "Craignez honte."
[2] PORTLAND INVENTION. Sheridan (left) and Burke (right), their positions reversed, both three quarter length (Burke seated, Sheridan standing), are on opposite sides of a table on which the Duke of Portland, between them, holds a bowl inscribed 'Portland Soup' and decorated with his arms. Sheridan dips in his ladle, gazing intently at Burke; Burke blows at his ladle, saying, "C'est trop chaude", and scowling fiercely at Sheridan. Portland looks down at the tureen with an expression of concern. 26 Feb 1790.

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938)

A satire on the quarrel between Burke and Sheridan, see BMSat 7627, and on the attempted reconciliation by the Duke of Portland. The print reflects the general opinion: 'Sheridan is universally allowed to have been wrong originally, and the Duke of Portland says Burke was afterwards wrong in not favouring a reconciliation.' Sir G. Elliot, 'Life and Letters', i. 357. Cf. BMSat 7858.

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.

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
