English: Savile Row- Tailoring at Henry Poole and Co., London, England, UK, 1944
Customers examine the wares of Henry Poole and Co. in their 18th century showroom on Savile Row. In the background can be seen a large cabinet in which are displayed various swords and several military dress uniforms. The original caption explains that although the range of materials available is very limited, "some prewar stuffs are still in stock and British manufacturers continue to turn out a limited amount of fine worsteds and tweeds".

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.
