| Description |
English: The King stands in profile to the left, looking upwards, surrounded by obsequious ministerialists and others. Pitt is prone at his feet kissing his toe. Dundas, in Highland dress, kneels behind him, kissing his posterior. Behind Dundas, stooping low, are two lawyers, the Attorney-General (Arden) and the Solicitor-General (Macdonald). A third man on the extreme right bows low. In front of the King and behind Pitt, Kenyon kneels with clasped hands. Next him is Wilkes. Two men bowing on the right are Sydney (left) and probably Carmarthen. Two other persons are partly visible, one of whom appears to be a bishop. The heads and hands of all but the King are shaded to indicate a dark complexion. 15 April 1788

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.  | ||||
