Description
English: HMS 'Inflexible' at the Battle of the Falkland Islands, 8 December 1914, about 13.00 - 13.20
Two similar studies above each other, one at a distance, the other closer to. Each shows the battlecruiser 'Inflexible' with one of the armoured cruisers, 'Kent' or 'Cornwall' astern. The time is between 13.00, when 'Inflexible' opened fire, and 13.20 when the cruisers broke away to chase the German light cruisers. 'Inflexible' still carried a foretopmast at this stage of the war, which Wyllie here omits, suggesting he was using a later image as a reference source.
Date circa 1915

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 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.
