| Notes |
The register shows that this impression was originally the frontispiece to the volume of Miller's play (K,29.2), which is now separately bound and is kept at pressmark 1.a.3. Miller's play was first put on at Drury Lane, January 9, 1729/30, running for seven performances. The first edition of the text was published on 12 January, and the second edition announced in the London Evening Post (11-14 April) for April 15, 'With a Curious Frontispiece taken from the Tavern Scene in the 4th Act, Representing the Vice-Chancellor, Haughty, Conundrum, &c. (Design'd from the Life by Mr. Hogarth, and Ingrav'd by Mr. Gerard Vandergucht)...' |

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.  | ||||
