| Description |
English: From the 'Rambler's Magazine'. The interior of a bedroom, the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert in a bed, which is decorated with the royal arms and triple ostrich plume. The King and Queen enter through a door (right); he holds a document inscribed 'Act Parl' (the Marriage Act of 1772, see BMSat 4970, which forbade the marriage of a prince or princess of the blood under the age of twenty-six without the King's consent). Beside the bed stands a monk with an open book, who raises his finger admonishingly to the King and Queen. An elderly man (left) writes at a table. On the wall is a portrait of Fox, above the door a picture of a crucifix. 1 May 1786

Licensing
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.  | ||||
