Gallows ticket for the hanging of w:Jonathan Wild. Note that the emblem at the top is Wild's own imprint, showing him in cloth cap and bearing a mace as a symbol of policing. The main illustration bears the emblems of Death (left) and the Grave (right), surmounted by devices of imprisonment. Between Death and the Grave is a small casket. The text invites all criminals, and then ladies and gentlemen, to walk with their friend I--- W--d to the "triple tree," which was Tyburn. The gallows there were a simple L-shaped beams arranged with three together.

This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.

This photographic reproduction is therefore also in the public domain.
