Notes
Probably based on the costumes worn at the bal costumé at Buckingham Palace in 1842 - see companion portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert also in costume printed in a similar way: 1902,1011.8977 and 10005
The ball was reported at length in the first number of the Illustrated London News, May 1842 with woodcuts by the leading illustrator of the time, John Gilbert, and commemorated in an illustrated volume by J.R. Planché, Souvenir of the Bal Costumé, published by P. & D. Colnaghi in 1843, from which this illustration, based on drawings by Coke Smith, is taken.

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.
