| Title |
Hibernia in distress |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Hibernia lies on the ground with her harp broken. On a table (l.) are two money bags, one full and labelled "Exchequer", the other decorated with the Irish harp and almost empty. Into this Lord North is plunging his hand while an African with outstretched hand says: "Don't forget poor Mungo my good Ld N------h". A man in hat and laced coat is trampling on Hibernia, saying to a bystander: "Sr George we must keep her down". Sir George [Macartney] answers: "Ay my Ld T------d. [Townshend] and exert ourselves or she will be too Strong for us". [The title is taken from the index to the magazine] 1 February 1772

[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.  | ||||
