Notes | One of two designs for illustrations by Hogarth to 'Paradise Lost', which were not published, see also Paulson (1989), cat. no. 64. Paulson suggests, from the format, that they may have been submitted for the 1725 illustrated edition of 'Paradise Lost' published by Tonson. Both plates were cut down within the image at the top, bottom and right-hand sides, to the dimensions shown here, after the first states were printed, Hogarth presumably finding his original plates larger than the specified page size. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

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. |
