The Zanys |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A large lion, inscribed 'Public Opinion', lies quietly; its eyes are closed but its profile is menacing. Two "Zanys" with ass's ears and fool's caps prepare to control it. One, Charles X, in uniform, his cap inscribed 'C x R' holding a plaster inscribed 'Ordinance for abolishing the free press', stoops towards its head, while Polignac (left) hammers in staples which attach the tail to the ground. The King: 'Now Polignac, don't let him wag his tail and I'll clap this plaster over his nose and he shan't snore!' Aug 6 1830

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. 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. |
