Description |
English: A breakfast-table scene: Mrs. Fitzherbert seated (right) flings the contents of a coffee-cup in the face of the Prince of Wales (left), who has risen from, and overturned, his chair. He walks away from the table, looking at her, and saying, "I am foold to the top of my bent". He wears a military coat with epaulettes and a star. Mrs. Fitzherbert wears a morning gown with a large frilled cap; she sits at a small rectangular table on which is a circular tray with a coffee-pot, &c. Behind it is a blazing fire; the centre of the carving on the chimney-piece is a satyr's head. The carved oval backs of the two chairs are formed of the Prince's feathers. On each side of the wall, on the extreme left and right, is part of a window. 8 December 1789.

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. |
