Le Couronement Du Roy George Roy De la Grande Bretagne (The Coronation of King George, King of Great Britain) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Allegory of the coronation of George I showing the king enthroned with one hand resting on a globe while the other accepts the sceptre from a female figure representing England; above him, Fame, assisted by two putti, brings the crown, while the spirit of the people brings a shield with the arms of England and religion. To the left, stand Plenty and Justice; to the right, the Prince of Wales and his sister Princess Sophia Dorothea, Queen of Prussia, converse with Minerva. On the steps of the throne, the lion of England menaces the Vices of Envy, Error, Fraud and Discord which are revealed by Time to be driven off by Hercules and Mercury, representing Vertue and Eloquence.

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. |
