Description
English: Hoisting sail in a boat

Rowlandson made a large number of drawings connected with the sea, particularly of travel by sea, with which he was well acquainted. He crossed to the Continent on a number of occasions on his way to France, Holland, Germany and Italy. He also visited the coasts of Britain, such as during his famous tour in a post chaise of 1784. On this occasion he made drawings on board the 'Hector' man-of-war in Portsmouth Harbour. The drawing is signed lower right 'Rowlandson'.

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 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

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.
