Description
English: '1st Battle squadron in North Sea'
Inscribed by the artist, as title, lower right. This is 1st Battle Squadron of R-class and 'Iron Duke'-class battleships in the North Sea in 1917. It is essentially a study of the distant appearance of these massive symbols of naval power on a well-rendered and moderately lively summer sea, which in no way affects their apparently monumental stability. The individual ships cannot be identified.

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

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 80 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.
