5x expanded by SL93 (talk). Self-nominated at 16:56, 11 December 2020 (UTC).

Animalparty uploaded a nice public domain image. I just added it now for consideration with the hook. SL93 (talk) 22:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Date and expansion fine. AGF on book source. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing, picture licence fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 22:57, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Note to promoter - I'm fine if this is promoted without an image. I'm aware of how many black and white images are added to DYKs. SL93 (talk) 19:24, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
