| Description |
English: Scene outside a rural inn with the sign of the 'Cock & Bottle'; a knife-grinder with an erect member grinds a large blade, looking up at a young woman who stands above the grindstone, lifting her skirts to urinate; another young woman with her skirts about her waist turning the wheel at left, and a woman making love to a young man on a seat by the door looking on at right; figures including a bare-breasted girl looking from the windows of the inn; farming implements on the ground at right; after a print by Rowlandson, but with the women's faces and bodies altered within the outline.

| Notes | 'Tally-i-o the grinder' is a popular song about a beloved wife. A pencil note on the mount: 'This is not the original plate but has been copied from that of Rowlandson which is much bolder & more free in execution, has no stipple, & is not so much smo[o]thed down. The size of both is the same, & this is not turned.' See also 'The Rookery', another erotic scene set outside a tavern by Rowlandson, 1977,U.574. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

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.  | ||||
