Vox populi, a great personage incog. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: George IV (left), not caricatured, and John Bull (right) face each other across an ale-house table on which are a jug and two tumblers. The King wears the caped coat of an amateur coach-driver with top-boots and a bulky scarf. His right hand rests on a cane, his left arm on the table; he looks towards J. B. through almost closed eyelids, saying, 'I believe Mr Bull you are no great admirer of His M*****y?' J. B. is a respectably-dressed countryman with gaiters above the knee. He takes a long pipe from his mouth to answer: 'You are quite mistaken Sir, I only wish I liked any one about or belonging to him half so well.' Nov 21 1829

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.  | ||||
