Title
Return from Brighton, or a journey to Town for the Winter season
Description
English: A sequel to BMSat 6967. A coach and four is driven at a gallop from right to left, by two postilions: Fox rides the near wheeler, Sheridan the near leader; both ply their whips. Inside the coach is the Prince of Wales, reading 'Town Amusements' but looking at his infant which North, on the back seat, holds on his knee (cf. BMSat 6954, &c). On the Prince's right is Mrs. Fitzherbert. The centre of the coach roof is piled with boxes, baskets of fruit, a bunch of flowers, a hare, and a bird. These divide Hanger, who sits facing the horses, his club under his arm, reading a 'Scheme for finishing Carlton House', and Weltje reading a 'contract', his feet resting on a pot, saveall, &c. Both men smile with satisfaction. The door of the coach is decorated with Mrs. Fitzherbert as Hope, holding an anchor surmounted by the Prince's feathers and motto, 'Ich Dien'; on each side-panel is a star; it is ornate and decorated with crowns, in contrast with the shabby vehicle of BMSat 6967. In front of the coach is tied a large pair of bellows (whose nozzle points directly at Fox) inscribed 'Motion for increase of Income'. 23 October 1786

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VI, 1938)

This anticipates the debates of 20, 24, and 27 Apr. 1787, when an appeal was made for the payment of the Prince's debts. 'Parl. Hist.' xxvi. 1019 f., 1048-56, 1059; Rose, 'Pitt and National Revival', 1811, pp. 400 ff. An appeal for an increased income for the Prince had been made by Sheridan and Fox in debates on the Civil List, 5 and 6 Apr. 1786. 'Parl. Hist.' xxv. 1354-6.

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 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

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.
