Notes |
For more information on the series, see 1936,1105.1. The horse is described on the title-page as "The favourite Charger of his late Most Gracious Majesty King George the Third. His Majesty rode this Horse upon his birthday in the year 1799, when he reviewed the whole of the London Volunteers in Hyde-Park.". Frankau also notes that this was the horse used as a model for the picture: "Boa Constrictor seizing Man and Horse", which was shipped to America, and lost at sea. |

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. |
