Notes |
Story's costume seems to combine the blue colour and the cockade of the French and the breeches of the Dutch. The satire refers to the Vlieter Incident in the Anglo-Russian invasion of Holland, which took place on 30th August 1799; after a mutiny in the Dutch fleet, Story, a rear-admiral in the navy of the Batavian Republic, surrendered to the British navy. An impression of the print is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (inv. no. RP-P-OB-86.742). See also BM Satires 9412-9414.

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. 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. |
