Summary edit

Description
English: This is a cartoon entitled "Feline Friends; or the British Lion and the Persian Chat". The Russian Bear is shackled in the background as the Persian Pussycat cuddles up to the great British Lion. This relates to the visit to Britain of the Shah of Persia (now Iran). Throughout his visit, he was received with formality and courtesy. Russia had recently taken Khiva, in independent Turkestan. However, it was believed that England's interests in the East were safe whilst stable relations were maintained with Persia.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1914, so 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.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
