DescriptionIndia Before the First World War; George V and Queen Mary at Delhi Durbar Q107150.jpg
English: India Before the First World War
King George V and Queen Mary during the Delhi Durbar, the ceremony at which people of note in India came to pay tribute to the new Emperor and Empress of India following their coronation in Britain, in 1911. The King wears the newly made Imperial Crown of India and both wear their Coronation robes. The Crown had to be made specifically for the occasion as the Imperial State Crown could not be legally removed from Britain.

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.
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.
