| Description |
English: One of a set of four: see BMSat 7176. Five Prussian soldiers hold a blanket in which they toss a fat Dutch burgher who flies into the air, losing his hat and wig, a shower of coins falling from his pocket. The uniforms of the soldiers are varied and elaborate. A drummer-boy beats his drum (left) and a mounted officer, probably the Duke of Brunswick, watches with amusement, as does a soldier standing beside him on the extreme right. Behind (left) is a high stone wall, from which an English sailor points out the scene below to a French petit-maitre whom he holds by the hair; the terrified Frenchman drops his snuff-box. On the horizon is a windmill. 24 October 1787

Licensing
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.  | ||||
