Description
The Danish brig Lougen was built in 1805 and it was one of the few Danish naval vessels to escape capture by the British in 1807. From its base in Norway it fought off small British vessels, like the brig HMS Childers shown here. The text on the aquatint can be disputed. HMS Childers was in fact smaller than the Lougen and in the British account it was the Danish brig that fled when the Lougen closed in on HMS Childers.

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

The author died in 1827, so 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.
