Title
The treaty of commerce or new coalition.
Description
English: Louis XVI (left) and George III (right) sit together, amicably clinking glasses; the latter's right hand is on the shoulder of Louis, who says, with a sly smile, "Mon cher Ami I will teach a you de Politess Francoise to Govern like a de Grand Monark every ting but de Francoise Politique". From his coat-pocket protrudes a paper: 'Massacre S Bartholomew 1572'; under his right foot is a paper: 'French Faith a Farce'. On the left four lean Frenchmen sit at a table eating roast beef and plum pudding; one says "Oh I do Love Souck (?) de Roast Beef", another says "By Gar dis be better dan de Grenouilles". On the right three stout Englishmen carouse round a large hamper of French wines inscribed 'Burgundy Champaine Clarit'. One says, "Come my boys heres the Treaty of Commerce Clarit for ever But no Frogs". Frogs are among the bottles in the hamper and also among a number of empty bottles on the floor. 26 February 1787

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.
