Summary[edit]

Description
English: Map of the expedition of Jean-Baptiste Bouvet de Lozier, during which he discovered Bouvet Island in 1739. This map seems to be an improved second edition (published in 1754?) afer a first such map was published in 1739 immediatey after Bouvet's return to France. This 1739 map is also in Wikimedia Commons as: File:Antarctica, Bouvet Island, discovery map 1739.jpg . The French title of this new map reads: "Map of the southern lands between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Pole, where one sees the New discoveries made in 1739 south of Cape of Good Hope by orders of the (French) East-India Company. Based on the journals and the original map of Mr de Lozier Bouvet, leader of this expedition. Extended with various Physical observations etc., 1754".
Nederlands: Kaart van het traject van de expeditie van Jean-Baptiste Bouvet de Lozier, waarbij deze in 1739 Bouvet ontdekte. Deze kaart (uit 1754?) lijkt een verbeterde uitgave te zijn van die welke in 1739 direct na terugkeer van de expeditie werd gemaakt en die ook op Wikimedia Commons beschikbaar is als: File:Antarctica, Bouvet Island, discovery map 1739.jpg. De Franse titel van deze nieuwe kaart luidt: "Kaart van de zuidelijke landen tussen de Steenbokskeerkring en de Zuidpool, waar men de Nieuwe ontdekkingen ziet, gedaan in 1739 ten zuiden van Kaap de Goede Hoop in opdracht van de (Franse) Oost-Indische Compagnie. Gebaseerd op het logboek en de originele kaart van de heer de Lozier Bouvet, leider van deze expeditie. Uitgebreid met diverse Fysieke waarnemingen etc. 1754."
Français : "Carte des Terres Australes comprises entre le Tropique du Capricorne et le Pôle Antarctique où se voyent les Nouvelles découvertes faites en 1739 au Sud du Cap de Bonne Espérance par les Ordres de Mrs de la Compagnie des Indes. Dressée sur les Mémoires et sur la Carte originale de Mr de Lozier Bouvet chargé de cette Expédition. Augmentée de diverses vues Physiques &c, 1754." (Cette carte paraît être une seconde edition de celle de 1739, qui est disponible en Wikimedia Commoms comme: File:Antarctica, Bouvet Island, discovery map 1739.jpg )

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
