Description |
English: An earlier impression of BMSat 5401 in which a blank has been left for the day of the month in the publication line. The owl with its document inscribed "Louis Baboon a Paris" is omitted, as are the words "Lee, Putnam", and "V... D" on the wolf, boar, and stag. The background differs in several details, the plate having been reworked and strengthened for the later impression. In place of the ship is a group of trees. 20 November 1777

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. |
