SUMMARY
Wikimedia Commons record for John Kay's 1785 caricature etching titled 'Dr. James Graham going along the North Bridge in a High Wind'. The Commons page names Graham as the subject and Kay as the artist; the identification of the male figure as Graham rests on the Wikimedia / Kay catalogue record (sourced from edinburghbookshelf.org.uk), not on a visible inscription on the print itself, and the caption attributes the identification accordingly. Rights tile: Public Domain Mark. Source for the actor-role caricature portrait media entity graham-portrait-kay-1785.
NOTES
Wikimedia Commons record for John Kay’s 1785 caricature etching of James Graham crossing the North Bridge in Edinburgh in high wind. The Commons file is held under a Public Domain Mark, and the identification of the male figure rests on the archive record’s titling. Used as the actor-role media source. The wider John Kay Edinburgh portrait series (which included this plate) was published in A Series of Original Portraits and Caricature Etchings by the late John Kay, but the dating of the original plate to 1785 is the Wikimedia/Edinburgh Bookshelf record’s attribution and is taken at the archive’s word in the case.
