Title
The rage or shepherds I have lost my waist
Description
English: A tall handsome young woman, full-face, her right hand extended, left on her breast, leans to the right as if singing dramatically. Looking up at her (right) is a stout and shorter woman (? Lady Buckinghamshire) wearing a hat and holding a fan. Both wear short-waisted dresses and partly uncovered breasts, a fashion becoming to one and not to the other. A voluminous scarf is swathed round the neck of the singer, the ends tucked in at the waist. Two erect ostrich feathers are in her hair, and large rings decorate her ears. Her right hand is extended in protest above a tray of jellies and tartlets held by a footman (left). He is grotesquely caricatured in face and (old-fashioned) dress. On the wall (left) is a whole length portrait of a lady dressed in the fashion of c. 1740, wearing wide hooped petticoats, a lace apron, and a flat hat. Her right hand is in a small muff. Beneath the design are the same verses as in BMSat 8569. For the fashions satirized see BMSat 8571, &c. For 'The Rage' see BMSat 8498. 1 December 1794.

[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 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


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.
