Saint George for England. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: No. 1 of the series. A sailor riding (right to left) the British lion; in his right hand he holds out a foaming tankard, in his left is a sword resting on his shoulder and thrust through a huge sirloin of beef. His hat is decorated with a St. George's cross in a medallion, and with sprays of oak-leaves and acorns. On the lion's head is a spray of roses, his right fore-paw rests on a plum-pudding in a dish. His tail is raised almost vertically. Behind, seen through the lion's legs, are ships in full sail, clouds of smoke showing that a naval battle is in progress.

Licensing
editThis 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. |
