Description |
English: A scene at Court, the throne partly visible on the extreme right, the King and Queen conversing. The centre figure is the tall 'Plenipotentiary' or Turkish Minister, wearing a jewelled and feathered turban, Turkish trousers, and a long furred robe. He looks down at the fat Lady Buckinghamshire; she gazes up at him with both hands raised in astonishment. Behind him, Mrs. Fitzherbert holds up the skirt of his robe, as if to inspect it, her right hand raised in astonishment. In the foreground (left) is the little Duchess of York in back view, looking up at the Prince of Wales. A head on the extreme left appears to be that of the Duke of York. The Duke of Richmond (right), standing 'chapeau-bras', in profile to the left, inspects the Plenipotentiary through an eye-glass. The background is crowded with figures, chiefly of ladies, who gaze at the Plenipotentiary's back. Among them is the head of a judge (? Loughborough). The Lord Chamberlain (Salisbury), holding his wand, faces the throne. Beneath the design are eight lines of verse beginning:

[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. ![]() |
