English: Social staire; a large man sits snoring in an armchair, with one foot on a stool and a night cap, a bottle beside him; next to him a gentleman with wig, sword and a military coat puts his arms round a lady's waist; a servant enters yawning and carrying a roast chicken, spilling gravy on the floor, and a monkey snatches grapes from the edge of a table. 20 February 1788
Hand-coloured etching with stipple

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.
