Description |
English: No title. Frontispiece from 'Fox against Fox!!! or Political Blossoms of the Right Hon. Charles James Fox . . . To which are added the Speeches of Mr Pitt and Mr Fox ...' [10 Dec. 1788]. George III, wearing a crown, is seated in an armchair in profile to the right, looking down, unconscious of his companions: Pitt, who stands behind him saying "Little short of Treason to the Constitution" (cf. BMSat 7382), and the Prince of Wales (right), who stands behind a fox on its hind legs which he appears to support. The fox (Fox) snarls viciously at the King and stands on the roofs of two miniature buildings, one lettered 'Lords', the other 'Commons', on which he urinates. 1788

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
