Notes |
The BM register describes the set as costume prints. This is unlikely, as the costumes contain little detail. The poses adopted by the figures, as well as the props some of them are holding (such as the set of keys in E,8.82) suggests that these are more likely to be illustrations to a play or tale. This is confirmed by letterpress text on the verso of some of the cuttings, which contains German verse of a satirical and moralizing nature. None of the characters are named in the text, and from the existing fragments it has not been possible to identify the play. Note that the attribution to Schäufelein is doubtful. |

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. |
