| Description |
English: A scene in the Abbey, the ceremonial of the Queen's anointing. The Archbishop stands in the foreground looking slyly to the left and holding the (vulture-like) Dove and the anointing-spoon. Behind him are two other bishops. Farther from the picture-plane and on the right the Queen kneels on a cushion, attended by two of her ladies who bare her breast. She turns aside her head. Her other ladies press and peer behind her chair and from the peeresses' gallery just behind, other ladies look down, or hide their eyes as if shocked. Sep 14 1831

| Notes |
(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', XI, 1954) Said to be a satire on the Queen's supposed objection to the décolletage of ladies of her court. Sandars, 'Life and Times of Queen Adelaide', 1915, p. 170. This ceremony followed the anointing of the Queen's head, and preceded the placing of the coronation ring. See Countess Brownlow, 'The Eve of Victorianism', 1940, pp. 148-52. The canopy held over her by four duchesses is omitted. 'The Times', 9 Sept. See No. 16778, &c. |

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.  | ||||
