Welcome to The Public Domain Review caption competition! Each month we offer up an image calling out for verbal adornment and you — the cunning, witty, and imaginative reader — submit your caption via the comments on the relevant Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter post. From the entries a worthy winner will be chosen and rewarded with their choice of either: i) a beautiful PDR tote bag; ii) a selection of postcards from our back catalogue; or iii) a whopping 20% discount in our prints shop!
