| Title |
An heir apparent in embrio. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Mrs. Fitzherbert stands in profile to the left, her hands clasped across her waist, leaning backwards from the waist. Her dress protrudes in front giving her the appearance of pregnancy, the silhouette of the front resembling that of the back, inflated according to the fashion of the day, see BMSat 0874, &c. Her breast is covered by projecting gauze, also a fashion much ridiculed. She wears a wide-brimmed hat trimmed with three feathers and the motto 'Ich Di[en]'. From her neck hangs an oval miniature head of (presumably) the Prince, and a rosary. 1 July 1786

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.  | ||||
