English: Satirical frontispiece to "The Secret History of the Calve's Head Club" (6th edition, 1707) showing a seven men sitting around a table under an axe which is displayed on the wall. On the table are a dish with four calves' heads, another with a fish which has a small fish in its mouth, and a third with a boar's head. One man, dressed as a non-conformist clergyman, is praying while another holds his hat to his face, another holds his to his chest, and a third looks upwards in supplication; two men in the foreground wear fashionable coats and wigs and are seated on elegant chairs, one carries a sword. The figure of Envy emerges from under the table, the Devil enters through a door behind. 1707

Licensing
This file 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.  | ||||
