| Description |
English: Frontispiece to 'The Wit's Magazine', i. 1784. The interior of the temple, Mirth seated on a raised seat holding a book; she wears classical draperies and her hair is wreathed with vine leaves. On each side of her is a row of worshippers: on the left men hold their sides with laughter, one lies on the floor; on the right men and women jest together coyly, a lady looks at a man from behind her fan. Behind Mirth are two pictures, one (left) of Don Quixote with Sancho Panza and Rozinante, the other (right) Falstaff standing with shield and sword. On each of the two side walls are three busts in niches; on the right are 'Vol[taire]' and 'Stern[e]'. 1 Feb 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:
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.  | ||||
