How to Escape Losing |

Description |
English: The three horses race in the opposite direction; the Prince's horse passes the next horse by a neck, the third is well behind. The Garter, inscribed 'Qu'en pensez vous', is now attached only to the horse's fore-leg, and no longer shackles him. But heavy weights are slung on the horse and round the neck of the jockey, Chifney, who looks with a cunning grimace towards the Prince, who stands (right) full-face, pointing over his shoulder towards his horse. In the distance are spectators on horse-back. 22 November 1791

[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. |
