Description |
English: George III takes a paper (a petition) from the hand of Margaret Nicholson, who holds a knife (in her left hand) against his chest. A beefeater (left) steps forward to restrain her, another stands unmoved by an open door in a high brick wall. The king's coach is on the right. Not a caricature, though drawn in the manner of one. Cf. a mezzotint of this subject in the Carington Bowles series. 5 August 1786

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. ![]() |
