Notes |
This is probably after Carle Vernet since the caricature the boy is holding is by Darcis after Vernet entitled 'Les Incroyables' (an impression is in the BM: see A. Dayot, "Carle Vernet", Paris 1925, p.18 and cat. 66b). The print has a political sub-text in that it refers to the struggle between republicans and counter-revolutionaries that was settled on 18 Fructidor. For "incroyables" and "merveilleuses", see 1874,0711.835 |

Licensing[edit]
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. |
