Steel engraving image of the young Prince, scanned direct from a book, hence the clarity.

John, is there any caption with that image!

Same as admin, great image filled with symbolism! the old french guard

shame, as for the mighty english lion, well he is simply overcome with it all.

Peter & Les,

It is entitled In Memoriam, sadly my scanner isn't big enough!

The volume is available online http://eco.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.8_06230_503/2?r=0&s=1 on subscription only.

Thank's JY, i have visited the page, was unable to access the image,
does that mean i have to ' sign up ', and once accessed is the image
so large that feasibly it could be made up poster size..

Les,

Yes you have to subscribe to the site, as to reproduction quality I could not say, I bought that page as a one off years ago.
