Title
The introduction of F- [Fitzherbert] to St James's.
Description
English: A procession walks (left to right) along Pall Mall towards the gateway of St. James's Palace. George Hanger marches in front beating a drum, one of his drumsticks being a birch-rod. Behind him Fox and North march together, Fox playing the flute, North the French horn. After them comes the Prince of Wales, Mrs. Fitzherbert seated astride his shoulders, her breast and legs much exposed, she points authoritatively to St. James's, her right hand on the Prince's head. Behind (left) marches Burke, wearing a Jesuit's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026) and playing the fife. From his pocket protrudes a paper inscribed Sublime, in allusion to his book. In the background houses with shop-fronts are freely sketched. A sentry stands on each side of the palace gate. 3 May 1786

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.
