Summary
[edit]DescriptionBurma-Beauty and the beast (NYPL Hades-2359609-4044373).jpg |
English: * "The women of Burma are much more attractive than the men, the complexion being more ruddy and the features more regular: the hair is very luxuriant and always well dressed. The costume is a dainty white jacket and coloured 'lungyi,' or, in the case of those of superior position, a 'temaine' or skirt of greater length so that it trails upon the ground; it is open at the side, exposing the leg nearly to the hips in walking. Leogryphs are common objects in Burma, and immense ones guard the great Pagodas of Arkan and Shwe Dagon."--printed on verso. |

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. |
