Description |
English: Plate 36: The Arch of the Mint: The Rear Face; an arch surmounted by a tree growing atop the boulders of Mount Potosí; at the centre is a large portal framed at the sides by bearded terms attached to piers and flanked by the river gods Condorillo and Marañón; niches below these two figures contain implements for coining money; in the niche above the centre opening sits Vulcan with hammer and tongs, forging a thunderbolt on the anvil; two coats of arms flank the centre niche, framed with a festoon of coins; at left two workmen strike the rocks with picks; opposite at right two men emerge from mine-shaft bearing loads of ore; above, monkeys and lizards clamber on the boulders; at the apex appears Hercules clubbing the dragon in the garden of the Hesperides, while Hispania plucks the golden apples from the tree and places them in the folds of her garment; after Peter Paul Rubens; illustration for Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus" (Antwerp, 1641)

[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. |
