Notes Contrary to the identification provided in the Yale site's database, this image cannot be of Barry Edward O'Meara. In Britain, a person with a D.D. is addressed as "Dr." Barry Edward O'Meara did not have a D.D., was not in holy orders, did not preach, and did not seek to be appointed bishop. In 1809 he was serving as surgeon in the military, where he would have been addressed as "Mr. O'Meara," as surgeons are addressed in Britain even today. More info at museum site

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

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.
