Description
English: 'HMS Lion in the Forth'
Signed by the artist and inscribed , as title, lower right. The battlecruiser 'Lion' is shown in starboard-bow view, at moorings and with her forward guns trained to starboard. She is wearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir William C. Pakenham and she has rangefinder baffles fitted to the foremast, so the date shown has to be 1917. The cruiser on the right is apparently one of the 'Caledon' class.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
