Description |
English: George III, wearing a small crown, a ribbon and star, and riding-boots, sits outside a low building (? stable) to which a horse is tied. He turns his head in profile to talk to a stable-boy (left) with a curry-comb. Two others are much amused. On his left wrist sits an owl wearing bands. A boy (right) brings a cup of 'Sack'. An amused elderly man stands in the shadow of the stable door. In the background (left) is Windsor Castle on a steep hill. 1788?

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VII, 1942) Similar in character to plates illustrating verses by Peter Pindar. Perhaps a book illustration on the theme of the King's fondness for foolish jokes, cf. BMSat 9003. Possibly some reputed incident at the beginning of his illness, cf. BMSat 7374. |

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. |
