Notes |
The complete title of the book is 'C'est l'ordre qui a este tenu a la nouvelle et ioyeuse entrée, que treshault, tresexcellent, & trespuissant Prince, le Roy treschrestien Henry deuzieme de ce nom, à faicte en sa bonne ville & cité de Paris, le sezième jour de Juin, 1549'. It is the official account of Henri II's entry into Paris and is illustrated by woodcuts by Jean Goujon (although they were technically cut by an anonymous woodcutter). The illustrations reproduce some of the temporary architecture and building decoration created for the occasion. An impression of this print is in the Bibliothèque Nationale (RES 4-LB31-20) and the figure is referred to as 'Capitaine des bourgeois et marchands de la ville de Paris, sur un cheval carapaçonné'. The IFF however identifies the horseman as Henri II, while Monique Charenet and Anne-Marie Lecoq ('Le Roi et des doubles', Revue de l'Art, No.174, 2011, p.24) name him as 'Capitaine des enfants de la ville'. |

[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. |
