Title

Sir Jeffery Dunstan presenting an address from the corporation of Garratt.

Description

English: Pitt, enthroned on a close-stool, receives a deputation from the Corporation of London travestied as ragamuffins. The place of the Lord Mayor (Gill) is taken by the knock-kneed Dunstan (see BMSat 5637, &c), who holds out a scroll inscribed 'Address from the very Ancient and respectable Corporation of Garratt. High and Mighty Sir.' He says: "Only two dissenting voices, your honor, Sir Solomon Raggedarse and Sir Gregory Donky." His gown is held up by a man dressed as a zany (? Dornford, cf. BMSat 7393), with a bottle labelled 'Gin' on his head, and by Wilkes. The former asks : "Did you ever see such grace and dignity in your life Mr Alderman!" Wilkes answers: "Grace! He shall be made master of the Ceremonies at St J-----s's!" Dornford's dress is inscribed 'Coniac', 'Shrub', 'Rum', 'Brandy', &c. On the extreme left is Watson pressing forward with eager deference; behind are undifferentiated aldermen. Pitt says to Dunstan (who holds the mace): "Thanks; Thanks; my respectable Friend, this is the most delicious cordial I have tasted yet." Behind him stands Bishop Pretyman holding the 'Address from Manchester'. [30 December 1788 (So dated by Grego)]

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) See BMSat 7393. Dornford moved an address of thanks to Pitt in Common Council on 18 Dec, carried by 52 to 26. It was opposed by the Recorder (Adair) and five Aldermen (including Sawbridge, Newnham, Pickett, and Skinner). 'General Advertiser', 20 Dec. 1788.

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 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. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

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.
