The blessings of peace |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Kings, ministers, and politicians in conference on both sides of the Atlantic, their identities indicated by numbers referring to notes engraved below the design. On the extreme left, beyond a piece of water inscribed "Atlantic", a young girl dressed in feather head-dress and girdle, her name "America" inscribed over her head, sits between the kings of France (2) and Spain (3), giving a hand to each. Behind them, left, stands (1) "Dr Franklin", supporting himself on his stick, and placing a wreath on America's head. A dog, probably Holland, sits in front of this group, which is in the middle distance.

Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) For the peace see BMSat 6172, &c. This print is exceptional, perhaps unique, in printing in full the names of the characters, with the exception of George III, who is "The------". |

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. |
