Summary

Description
English: Il signor Tambourossini - caricature of Rossini's musical style. Combining the composer's name with tambour, (French for "drum") this lithograph by the French artist Paul Delaroche makes clear Rossini's European reputation as a creator of noise, with trumpet and drum accompanied by a magpie (La gazza ladra), an oriental type (Otello or maybe Il turco in Italia), and King Midas (with his ass's ears), literally trampling on sheet-music and violins, while Apollo (the god of music) makes his escape in the background[1]

As Adam lives in Britain, which makes it incredibly easy to acquire copyright in his works, he grants, if needed, an irrevokable license to use this work however you see fit. He requests attribution where possible, and realises that "where possible" means that that request is not legally enforcable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
