Summary

Wynnstay Theatre (

)

Title

Wynnstay Theatre

Description

English: From the 'European Magazine', ix. 379. Two designs for tickets of admission on one plate, the title engraved between them.

[1] Design in a circle. A woman, representing Tragedy, and a man dressed as Pierrot, representing Comedy, sit against two adjacent sides of a rectangular block which supports an urn. Tragedy holds a paper inscribed 'Richard III' and 'Lyar'. On the masonry behind her is an oval inscribed '[Tues]day, [Thur]sday, [Satu]rday'. Comedy holds a paper inscribed 'Rule a Wife and Have a Wife' and 'Bon Ton'; his back partly obscures the words 'Mon[day], Wed[nesday], Fri[day]]. Beside Tragedy is a weeping willow, beside Comedy a table with decanter and glass.

[2] A man wearing a large leek in his hat stands in a mountainous landscape under a signpost pointing 'To Wynnstay'. He holds out papers in each hand inscribed: (left) 'Constant Couple' and 'Spanish Barber'; (right) 'Cymbeline' and 'The Devil upon two Sticks'. From the pockets of his old-fashioned full-skirted coat other papers project. On the right is a goat. See BMSat 7068. 1 June 1786

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 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

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.
