Description
English: Two devils ploughing a field littered with contracts; both devils wear farmer's smocks, neckcloths and hats; one, holding the horse-drawn plough at centre, says, 'Wounds Measter this Work makes a body damnd Hot ['Hoth' with the 'h' crossed out]', the other, standing at right and holding a contract behind his back, replies, Ya friend Io [jo?], dis is indeed ver hard Vork, Bot mine pflug (how you call Dat!) is it not charmante? I can do mid it all vat I will. and I nebber nebber part mid it no more.' A man in boots and tricorne stands behind at left, dismayed, looking at the ground; a burning barn beyond at right, demons seen in the flames, is labelled 'For laying up Fools'; piles of rope in the foreground at left terminate in a noose that extends over the edge of the design.

[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.
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.
