The ladies church yard |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A companion print to BMSat 6256. The scene is reversed, the church being on the right, the trees on the left. From behind the tombstones appear the busts of women. The central grave in the foreground, however, is that of the Prince of Wales, a rectangular tomb, surmounted by a truncated pyramid, above which appear the head and shoulders of the Prince. He appears perhaps in response to Perdita's appeal (see below). The tomb is ornamented at the corners with ostrich plumes. “Here lies The P-----se [sic] of W-----s. How happy cou'd I be with Either Were the other Dear Charmer away But while you both Tease me togeather The Devil a word Will I say Tal de Ral.”

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. |
