| Description |
English: A park scene, crowded with men and women fashionably dressed. The central figure is a short fat lady, with a very wide hooped petticoat elaborately frilled. On each side of her are two ladies, young and elegant, one with a parasol, the other (? the Duchess of Devonshire) with a fan. Some of the men are dressed in the manner often considered characteristic of the plainer dressing introduced after the French Revolution: high-collared coat, round hat, tight breeches, and half-boots. One man only has sword, bag-wig, and 'chapeau-bras'; one is in regimentals. 24 July 1784

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.  | ||||
