| Description |
English: The Prince's stud, consisting of five asses with human faces, proceeds (left to right) past a signpost (right) pointing 'To Brighthlmstone'. The Prince, the central figure, rides an ass with the head of Mrs. Fitzherbert; he wears very long spurs. He is preceded by three animals, the foremost being George Hanger led by a groom (Captain Morris); on his saddle-cloth are the Prince's feathers, as if to show his privileged position. Next is Fox, his mouth wide open as if braying, next Weltje. Behind (left), apparently doubtful whether to proceed or not, is Lord Derby (or perhaps Lord North). Geese in the foreground (right) hiss at the procession. 30 July 1786

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.  | ||||
