For me it comes down to this the lion has been used for ages as a personification of Britain and its use here is pretty obvious  Having said that I dont think Gbambinos incorrect when he says that the lion could represent the Crown  Frankly the artist could have intended both and a more sophisticated view of the poster would suggest a number of additional interpretations  But the Crown allusion is a lot less obvious and Lonewolf is probably right when he says it should be cited The description of the image is sourced on the image description page as per Wikipedia norms  In my opinion the description is uncontroversial and obvious and does not require any unusual attribution suggesting that it is the opinion of the Minneapolis library or removal of the word Britain  However if anyone disagrees and thinks Royalguards original image description goes too far feel free to get consensus for a change here on the talk page My own view is that rather than insisting that the lion doesnt necessarily represent Britain which fairly or unfairly comes across like an attempt at making a point in retaliation to Lonewolfs revision efforts would be better spent seeing if we can find any source for the Crown interpretation  This poster was mass produced it is held by a number of archives and libraries and I believe that it has been reproduced numerous times  Someone has likely written a more detailed interpretation that might contain the necessary information
