Title
Description English: An elderly man walks, stooping, in profile to the left, two large books under the left arm, an umbrella under the right, a walking-stick in his right hand. Books project from his coat-pocket. He wears high boots, a cocked hat, his queue is in a bag. Behind is the door of a shop, inscribed 'G. Riebau'. Part of the adjoining shop-window (left) is visible, inscribed 'uctioner. 439'. Against the panes are books, prints, and a notice: 'Old Books bought'. A placard hangs outside the window: 'Price 6 \ Imparti Life of Paine.' (A pamphlet, 'Impartial Memoirs of the Life of Thomas Paine', was published in 1793.) Beneath the design:



'Stop gentle Reader, and behold
A Beau in Boots, who loves his Gold;
A Walking bookseller, an Epicure,
A Teacher, Doctor, & a Connoissieur.
Alias
Doctor V------ in his Wrigling attitude, hawking old Books as Moses
does old Cloaths.' 1793?

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 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.
