Text Appearing Before Image:
Ccnstitution-hill. About one hundred and twenty yards from the Palace —
that is,about one-third of the distance between the Palace and the the Triumphal
Arch there was the prisoner, Edward Oxford, watching their progress.
He walked backwards and forwards, with his arms under the lapels of his
coat. He was on the right-hand side, near the iron railings which divide
Constitution-hill from the Green Park. When he saw the carriage, he
turned round towards it; he drew a pistol from his breast, and then, as
the carriage went on, discharged it. The providence of God averted the
blow from her Majesty. The ball was heard to whiz by on the opposite
side. In all probability her Majesty was quite unconscious at that moment
that any attempt had been made upon her life. The carriage proceeded.
The prisoner then looked back to see if any one was near to perceive him ;
ho drew another pistol from his breast, whether with his right hand or his

Majesty saw him fire, because she stooped down. Again the providence

allay the alarms which might bo caused by news brought to her august
parent with respect to an event so momentous. There was a considerable
number of persons on the side of the Park between the road and the gardens
of Buckingham Palace. Curiosity and loyalty had led many persons
to that spot, in the expectation of her Majesty showing herself to her
subjects. There was a man named Lowe, whom I shall call as a witness,
who immediately rushed across, seized Oxford, and took the pistols from
him. That person at first was believed to be the offender by the parties
around, who said, You confounded rascal, how dare you shoot at our
Queen ? On which Oxford said, It was I. He was immediately taken
into custody, and taken to the station-house, where he voluntarily put the
question, Is the Queen hurt ? and on being told the Queen was not hurt,
he was asked whether there were not bullets in the pistol

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:
Public domain logo
This UK artistic or literary work, of which the author is unknown and cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry, is in the public domain because it is one of the following:
  • A photograph, which has never previously been made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) and which was taken more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or
  • A photograph, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954); or
  • An artistic work other than a photograph (e.g. a painting), or a literary work, which was made available to the public (e.g. by publication or display at an exhibition) more than 70 years ago (before 1 January 1954).

Warning sign This tag can be used only when the author cannot be ascertained by reasonable enquiry. If you wish to rely on it, please specify in the image description the research you have carried out to find who the author was. The above is all subject to any overriding publication right which may exist. In practice, publication right will often override the first of the bullet points listed.

Unpublished anonymous paintings remain in copyright until at least 1 January 2040. This tag does not apply to engravings or musical works. More information

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.
