Summary[edit]

Public domain rationale: This is a picture taken (on an unknown date) by The Franklin Institute of a reproduction created by a machine (on an unknown date) of the original artwork created by Henri Maillardet circa 1800 in London. Henri Maillardet (1745-1830) was born Jean Henri Nicholas Maillardet. Based on a research of the Massachusetts Historical Society archive copy at the Wayback Machine, reproductions of the same original artwork were published as early as the 1830s through the exhibitions in London and Boston by Johann Nepomuk Maelzel.
