Description
English: Mrs. Fitzherbert stands beside a dressing-table, her head turned in profile to the left, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She wears petticoat and stays, with a tiara inscribed 'Ich [dien]' and head-dress of three ostrich feathers and drapery. She is very buxom, with conspicuously large breasts, but is about to place a pad or frame across her bust which will increase her 'enbonpoint'. Above the dressing-table hangs an oval bust-portrait of the Prince of Wales surmounted by a crown and 'ich. dien'. 13 October 1791

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938) Coloured impression. Cf. BMSat 7099; the fashion for extremely inflated puffed gauze had, however, subsided. Similar in character to BMSats 7973, 7974.

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
