Notes According to Delteil, this print and its pair 'Juive d'Alger' (1865-1-14.78) were printed separately in the first state and in later states on a single sheet with text and ornamental border. The slim gap of unprinted paper in this trimmed version of the print shows that this is the first state described by Delteil, since in the illustration of the single sheet version the ornamental border adjoins the drapery. However, Delteil states that the first state has a signature, which is not present in this impression. This suggests that this is a variety of the first state rather than a later impression.

[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:
Public domain

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.


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.
